Schedule
Note: Deadlines are at 11:59 PM, UTC-12, also known as “Anywhere on Earth”, unless a time and timezone is specified. “Anywhere on Earth” means that the window closes only when that date has passed in every timezone on Earth.
Because business at our Annual Meetings is subject to Rules of Order and Standing Rules, these deadlines and procedures are subject to change. We are beginning this process now because we want to get candidates and their platforms in front of the voters with plenty of time for Q&A, scrutiny, and for voters to make their decisions.
