This year, the Business Meetings will be on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and (if required) Sunday mornings of the convention, at 10 AM (location to be announced in the convention schedule). Business Meeting veterans please note that, because L.A.con IV runs Wednesday-Sunday, the Preliminary Business Meeting is 10 AM Thursday, and all deadlines apply accordingly.
The deadline for submitting new business is 4 PM Wednesday (or two hours after the Opening Ceremonies, whichever is later). There are two ways to submit new business to the meeting, a hard way and an easy way. The hard way is to submit 200 identical copies (including an original signed by at least two members of L.A.con IV) to the Business Meeting (probably through the Convention Office; expect an announcement in an early issue of the at-convention newsletter for details). The easy way is to submit your proposal electronically to the Secretary of the Business meeting by e-mailing wsfs@laconiv.org; however, the Secretary must receive any electronic proposals at least a week before the convention.
