Nothing new that I can locate in the site as of 1:30 am on the 20th. (Correct me if I’m wrong.) At 3 am, I found a summary of ‘passed’ General Assembly (GA) motions which was posted on the 18th (but I had not seen the post previously). Possible updates later. Latest announcements and Details after the jump.
