If a status report is given a minute before the meeting, then we have
to take a break during the meeting to read and discuss.  Either that,
or we read it after the meeting and any discussion happens the next
meeting or on list.  It just seems ineffective to have a deadline a
minute before we are in a forum to take action...unless everything
only applies to the next meeting.
