Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Monday call?

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

let me chime in behind Roberto.  Margie, Chuck and i are still chipping away at 
these dates so don't take them as absolutely fixed.  but if we take the 
"standard" dates (out of the bylaws and GNSO Council rules) we wind up with a 
deadline of July 16th to finish our work.  yep, just about 3 weeks from now.  
so, while i know we're all tired and could use a breather, we just don't have 
very much time.  so (of course) i agree with Roberto.  i also want to pass on 
my condolences over Italy's loss in the World Cup game today.  

i'm still working on sandwiching our work into that really-short schedule and 
will post something soon.

here's the list of dates, backing up from the August 26th Council meeting

-- Aug 26th -- GNSO Council meeting
-- Aug 18th -- Submit Final Report (8 calendar days prior to the meeting, lead 
time for agenda items)
-- Aug 8th -- Close public comments (10 calendar days prior to submitting final 
report, WG/staff integrates public comments and prepares final report)
-- July 18th -- Complete Initial Report and open public comments (20 calendar 
days prior to closing public comments, public-comment interval)

sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

mikey
