This time around, the timing was as follows: Wed 09-01-2013: Deadline for podling reports Friday 11-01-2013: Practical board deadline Wed 16-01-2013: Board meeting In other words, we had a two day window for shepherds to digest reports, then go dig around to fill in their picture. Now, maybe

It is a week before the board meeting, but not a week before the weekend before the board meeting. The board asked me to have our report in place by the end of the Friday before the Wednesday of the board meeting so that they could review over the weekend. On Sun, Jan 13, 2013 at 10:57 AM, Jukka
