[GSA Council] ***New Meeting Dates for March

[meeting facilitator]

Hello all, as mentioned in the earlier email please free to indicate your
availability on weekends as well. I have still not heard from Sarah or
Masair at all.

If we cannot decide on a meeting in March then the executives should treat
this as no quorum so that they can again receive their bursaries.

Thanks,
Carlos
