It's since been updated so who knows. RNC website says they're required to convene the convention on Monday. <blockquote>On November 9, 2007, pursuant to the rules adopted at the 2004 National Republican Convention, the party issued the call for its convention. The call requires that the convention meet on Sept. 1, 2008. The session must be convened no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 7 p.m. Under the current party rules, this is the only method by which the party may select a candidate for President and Vice President.</blockquote> My bad. Sounds like they won't necessarily do a whole lot, though. TV coverage situation should be interesting. Or it'll make me want to stab myself.

It would be nice if the protesters tuned down their antics, too, but something tells me they won't. I don’t know where you got the info for that last paragraph, but I don’t think it’s correct.
