With there being so much variation in proposal length, quantity coming
in at any time, etc., we do not specify a turnaround time guarantee.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Internal deadlines and processing times

I have a meeting in an hour.  I'd like to be able to say that most
OSPs do __________________.

So...super quick survey:  We have all discussed how many days before
a deadline we expect to see proposals/forms submitted for internal
approvals.  And we have all (+/-) agreed that you do everything you
can to get every proposal out the door regardless of violation of
internal deadlines.  I understand that the job demands extraordinary
effort and flexibility to get everything done on time...but

Question: Do you have a policy saying that a proposal will be
reviewed and approved within a specific time frame following
submission of paperwork?  Or do you just tell people "You will get it
back in time to submit!"

thanks

Charlie Hathaway
