Background

Our Rules and Procedures have several sections which have hard dates related to our PNC, one of which is June 9th, addressed in this proposal. Since the PNC was moved one month later to begin August 17th, this change will preserve the original time frames for decision making. These changes, if approved, will revert to the original dates at the conclusion of the 2024 PNC/ANM.
