You know the meeting is going to be long when something like this happens to the Council pack:

This will be the last meeting that I miss this summer, if all goes according to plan, so I should have some more in depth coverage of further upcoming meetings.
There are a number of interesting things coming up, including a one hour presentation (three times the regular length of a presentation!) on the Olympics by the University Olympics Secretariat. There will also be the Iran motion, which is sure to be lengthly and heated, and the most important motion of the year, the Budget Authorization Motion, which, after a kabillion or so revisions, is ready. The burning question in my mind is:
Will Tom Dvorak be buying new shoes for Budget Day?
I’ve been slogging my way through a hefty chunk of minutes, quarterlies and other reports, mostly on the CASA situation, that I’ve received over the last couple of weeks, and it’s said some interesting things. I’ll be doing something on the quarterlies soon, just as soon as I finish the last one I have to read, Johannes.

-sextoybingo?
Sounds like a decent way to pass the time during the meeting. What are the rules?
I believe Mr. Dvorak is shopping for shoes right now.
Haha, I don’t know the rules of sextoybingo, but someone must! That phrase appeared somewhat randomly in exec comm minutes.
