Mr. Chair, if the subcommittee is able to lay out a calendar on November 5, then in a few minutes at the beginning of the meeting on November 7, we could just say, “Here's what the subcommittee decided on” and we can vote as a committee to approve that calendar. I think that might be more efficient. If it takes more time for the subcommittee to do its work on November 5, then we won't have to keep other people waiting for that meeting to end.
So maybe we could just add “approval of the committee agenda” to the agenda of November 7. Presumably we'll have some other business on November 7 that we could fit in there.
