Re: [council] Comment deadlines

[KathrynKL@aol.com]

I think we create a deadline that gives everyone the full business day to get 
their comments in.  Nothing lost and perhaps nothing gained, but no one is 
excluded. 

I should note that when dealing with small businesses, individuals, and 
consumer groups, even government agencies (in the US, my base of experience) 
are not unduly rigid about deadlines.  It is recognized that these groups 
rarely have the formal legal staffs of corporations and associations, and 
that it is more important to get the comments than to be unduly rigid about 
deadlines.
