I just wanted to add that I also speak against making this change in when the clock begins, and also the idea of moving from 24 to 48 hours. Twenty-four hours was always something we fought for in this committee, and there was good reason: it's because it's in the interests of committee members to be able to get a motion on at the next committee. Sometimes if there is a matter of urgency and if you're only meeting twice a week, it can sometimes mean four or five days before you can actually get it before the committee.
On November 15th, 2007. See this statement in context.
