- You can find a copy of the agenda here.
- Hugo Study Committee report here.
- Standing rules changes:
- Restricting Ratification of Amendments (A1) passes. This will make it more difficult to amend a constitutional amendment that’s in the ratification stage.
- Deadline for Submission of New Business (A2) passes. This requires that new business for the Business Meeting must be submitted 30 days in advance rather than the current 14.
- Business passed on:
- What Our Marks Really Are (C1), The Reasonable Amendment (C2), Make Room! Make Room! (C3), and Name that Award: The Second YA Amendment “Young Adult” Award (C4) are all assigned debate times and will be debated in the main business meeting.
- New constitutional amendments:
- Remote But Real (D1) is assigned time for tomorrow after some debate. Most likely, this will be immediately referred to committee because it’s a pretty contentious issue.
- Adding Series to the Series (D2) is assigned time for tomorrow; it’s a Nitpicking and Flyspecking Committee proposal.
- Counting Comics (D3) is postponed indefinitely. (Likely will be taken up by the Hugo Study Committee.)
- Best Podcast Hugo Award (D4) is postponed indefinitely. (Likely will be taken up by the Hugo Study Committee.)
- Professional and Fan Artist Hugo Awards (D5) is assigned 20 minutes for debate and postponed definitely to be taken up on Sunday, so it doesn’t conflict with the ASFA meeting.
- Comic Books and Graphic Stories (D6) and Notability Still Matters (D7) are assigned time for debate.
