General Session III
Agenda (Revised June 25)
The business to be transacted is set forth in the official business agenda.
Note the following agenda update: the votes to admit Actions of Immediate Witness to the agenda will be taken today. This is a procedural vote based on the results of the AIW prioritization poll. However, the discussion and vote on whether to affirm AIWs will be postponed until tomorrow. This is due to the full schedule of Friday’s General Session, as well as to ensure there is enough time to work with the sponsors of the admitted AIWs.
