This year, the Business Meetings will be on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and (if required) Monday mornings of the convention, at 10 AM (location to be announced in the convention schedule). Site Selection results will be announced at the Sunday meeting. A Monday "overflow" session is highly unlikely, but will be held if we are unable to deal with all business by the end of the Sunday meeting.
The deadline for submitting new business is 21:00 (9 PM) Thursday, August 30 (two hours after the Opening Ceremonies 19:00). There are two ways to submit new business to the meeting, a hard way and an easy way. The hard way is to submit 200 identical copies (including an original signed by at least two members of Nippon 2007) to the Business Meeting (in person to the Chairman or Secretary or through the Convention Office; expect an announcement in an early issue of the at-convention newsletter for details). The easy way is to submit your proposal electronically to the Secretary of the Business meeting by e-mailing wsfsBM@nippon2007.us; however, because the Secretary is getting married in mid-August, the deadline for e-submissions is August 1, 2007 . If you submit business after this date, we may still be able to accommodate it; however, we may also tell you, "Too late; you have to bring your own 200 copies."
