Dear Devoteees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The Annual General Meeting of the ISKCON GBC Society will begin on February
9, 2017. Following the ISKCON GBC Society's Rules of Order, the GBC
Secretariat requests proposals, duly sponsored by TWO GBC members, to be
submitted by December 31, 2016. This will allow adequate time for the GBC
Deputies to prepare the proposals for presentation at the meeting.
