There was a suggestion to move the administrative reviews to conference calls or to Sunday evening. McCay's thought was to have substantive discussions on Saturday and revisit them on Sunday evening as needed. The ArB portion of agenda may be compressed. Beeler will try to find a letter on the TSC elections so we have something to start with when that item is discussed.  McCay's reasons for giving 90 minutes for mission/resource plan is that these items seem critical for moving forward.
