Yes.  Either the next day or at the end of the day depending on when that
day the proposal was discussed.

So, Marla.
Imagine that the first thing on the PP Agenda (1st day) were policy
proposals.  Voting on these proposals was organized overnight for a vote on
the 2nd day...and if some specific preliminaries were needed for 1 or 2
those could be addressed concisely just before the vote.... would this be in
line with what you propose under # 3 below?
