Let's see how the the discussion of their report plays out now that a separate thread has been launched. By the way, the increased volume of shepherd notes embedded in the report this month in comparison to prior months was a hit with the Board. Thanks to everyone who took part.

Re: Shepherd assignments July 2013
Apologies for not reviewing my podlings. I was relocating my family across the globe during this reporting cycle.

Hi Marvin, Can you also once recap the timelines you are expecting the podlings reports, shepherd reviews, and draft summary, and submission to board?

I believe our schedule is pretty much mandated at this point by the date of the Board meeting and the due dates that Marvin set in the reminders that went out a couple days ago. Wed July 10 -- Podling reports due by end of day Wed July 10 -- Summary due by end of day Fri July 12 -- Shepherd reviews due by 21:00 PDT Fri July 12 -- Report submitted no sooner than 21:00 PDT Wed July 17 -- Board meeting The Board generally requests that reports be provided a week in advance of the meeting, but makes an exception for the Incubator because of the coordination issues. It's important that we file it before the weekend, though, so that Board members have ample opportunity to review and log pre-approvals. Honestly, I don't see why we don't ask for podling reports a week sooner than we do, aside from the hassle of recoding Marvin. In the future I expect to work on automating and delegating, but this month it will be all manual and I'll be satisfied so long as everything goes smoothly and we produce a high-quality report.
