>> 9:00 a.m. Let's see if we can arrive at a consensus regarding
>> the start time. If anyone thinks a different time would be
>> better, please respond to this email with your suggestion.
>>
>> The constitution provides that roster freeze day is March 15.
>> Obviously that will need to be adjusted this year. Our roster
>> freeze date has historically been between 1-2 weeks prior to the
