All,
I am in support of Wendy's wording (with a minor tweak) as follows:
Reports and motions should be submitted to the GNSO Council for inclusion on the agenda as soon as possible, but no later than 23:59 UTC on the day, 8 calendar days before the GNSO Council meeting.
Any concerns or objections, please raise ASAP otherwise I suggest we post for public comment.
Jonathan

Dear All,
Per our discussion during the wrap up session, I can confirm that the Bylaws require that any changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures are subject to a minimum 21 day public comment period ('The GNSO Operating Procedures shall be effective upon the expiration of a twenty-one (21) day public comment period, and shall be subject to Board oversight and review' - see article X, section 3, item 4, http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#X).
With best regards,

Thanks Marika,
The current language of our Operating Procedures is: "Reports and motions should be submitted to the GNSO Council for inclusion on the agenda as soon as possible, but no later than 8 business days before the GNSO Council meeting."
To provide precision and uniformity, I propose we amend it to: ..."no later than 23:59 UTC on the day 8 calendar days before the GNSO Council meeting."
