Stuff always comes in late and changes to registration take place right up the first gavel (sometimes after). In past years, the Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports would get published, and that was that. Anything additional would have to wait until Synod Assembly for distribution of hard copies. With this new platform, we have the technical ability to post late items. Whether we have the spare human resources in the days between publication of The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports and the opening of the assembly is another matter. We’ll do what we can do, but there are no guarantees. We realize, however, that some folks might want to print their Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports several days in advance of the assembly (and we encourage this). So, this is what we do:
- Up until the publication of the compiled PDF edition of the The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports, we correct errors in and add late items to the main body of The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports. We then list those changes to the main body of The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports in “Errata” subsection. You can then check the “Errata” chart to see what has changed since you may have already accessed and possibly printed any individual pages of The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports.
- After the publication of the compiled PDF edition of the The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports. Errata will still be noted in “Errata” subsection, but without correction in the main body of the The Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports. Late items will be posted under the Addenda subsection with a listing on the Addenda subsection page. This means that you can print your Pre-Assembly Bulletin of Reports as a PDF download now without having the table of contents messed up if items are added. Then, when you check back in, you don’t have to print the entire PDF over again. Just print the appendices and add them to your binder.
