The Election Study Committee (ESC) respectfully requests an extension of time for the preparation of their report until October 31st, 2000. It was deemed due either 10/24 or 10/27 depending on whether one interpreted the six week deadline as beginning when the motion was passed or when the formation of the committee was completed but the excellent and thoughtful discussion on the committee has not made finalizing the details and wording a speedy task. We are well into the final preparation of the report but do not wish to err in any haste to complete it. Holly Timm Chair Election Study Committee
