Notes:
This mail is sent out under 48 hours before the meeting is scheduled to
begin, and as such does not qualify as a meeting announcement for
constitutional purposes. That announcement was distributed to the
committee list yesterday, and covered the general topics, without a
specific indication of motions expected at the meeting.
Attendance is by invitation only. Topics not covered in the meeting
announcement cannot be discussed without the unanimous agreement of all
members present at the meeting. Topics not listed on this agenda should
be raised with the committee for discussion and consideration at the
next formal meeting.
An informal brainstorming session will be held over dinner on Saturday
evening (the 23rd). Interested parties are strongly encouraged to join us!
Participants should note that the conference proceedings for Friday
conclude at 5:45pm, and dinner begins at 7:00pm; so there won't be time
to attend the meeting and go back to shower and change, so please ensure
you're appropriately attired and groomed in advance.
Proxies from committee members will be accepted by email to the
secretary until 10 minutes before the meeting begins.
