I'm not sure I understand your point. The deadline is the Wednesday a  
week ahead of the board meeting.

And what is the motivation for the mentors who missed the incubator  
report to make a special private report?

I think I'm on a different page here.

I think that mentors have the responsibility to create a report on  
behalf of the podlings to start. Yes, it's all on them. After a few  
reports, the mentor gets the community to step up and create the  
reports. The mentor then just needs to monitor things and step in if  
things don't get done.

It takes less than an hour for a mentor to create a report. Perhaps  
the missing link is a reminder to the mentors (directly, on their own  
personal email address) to prepare and submit the report or get the  
podlings to do so.
