In his capacity as President, urging completion of all items in Committees.

Dear colleagues,
As we approach the upcoming election and the end of the year I want to make sure the council continues to operate up until the end of the term. I would like all council chairs to make a good faith effort to complete all items in committee. This is important on principle to not leave items behind for the next council. It is especially important this year because the Minutetrack system we rely on for agendas will not be available in the near future. We will have a new system to manage agendas, but it will be difficult to transfer old items from Minutetrack to the new system.
I strongly encourage chairs to try to complete all the items in their agendas before the final meeting of the year in December. This should not be an issue for most items. Any items that need work beyond January should be resubmitted by the new council. Let's end this year strong and leave the new council with a clean slate to work with.
