Ha. There are many jobs where someone has to monitor a calendar to insure timely action for various things. It's just like anything else. Court dates and deadlines, government filings, actions required by contract, even processing paychecks! Not something I'd find engaging, but it's important. Screw-ups can be very costly.

But as I said above, things like this are usually very easily extended (when appropriate and within the agency's guidelines). I have no specific FCC experience but I do know of some similar processes. The agency itself is walking a tightrope. As you may know, the Freedom of Information Act requires disclosure (if requested) of most federal governmental proceedings. The agencies themselves are usually most cooperative about maintaining confidentiality within the guidelines they have. But the guidelines are always time limited, and they monitor these themselves. Most agencies get FOIA requests daily by the box load, and they need to track what can and can't be disclosed, and if not, when. It's probably a bigger pain to them but they have no choice. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
