Hi, I would like to point out that a reminder on the day the report is due is NOT plenty of time.

Fortunately for Flex, Bertrand was completely on top of this and the podling is very active and had their act together in hours! I understand that the policy was changed to allow the IPMC more time to review podling reports. But now the previous notice timing leaves the time short for podlings to produce reports. I realize that this may be due to when the board chooses to announce the meeting. I think that podlings ought to be reminded three weeks before the board meeting. Perhaps it is merely a "bug" in the automated system.
