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.
All sessions of the WSFS Business Meeting will be video-recorded. Such recordings may be posted to public video-sharing web sites such as Google Video or YouTube. Members can expect their voice and image to be recorded and distributed if they attend the meeting. Besides the official recordings being arranged by the Business Meeting staff, any other member may make recordings, subject to the restrictions of Standing Rule 1.6.
The deadline for submitting new business is 4 PM on Thursday, August 6 or two hours after the beginning of the Opening Ceremonies, whichever is later. 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 Anticipation) 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 wsfs@anticipationsf.ca. The deadline for e-submissions is July 15, 2009. 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."
