Monday midday is the soft deadline for reviews

IRB Chair Allen Sherman reminds reviewers that it would be hugely helpful to have contingencies and notes for a Tuesday meeting entered into CLARA by noon on the Monday right before the meeting. Allen does at least a brief review of all agenda items, and sometimes needs time before the meeting to follow up on items brought up by reviewers. Having comments and contingencies completed by mid day the day before should give the chair and the office time to work on anything that needs attention before the meeting.
