Re: [dow2tf] More calendaring

[Thomas Keller <tom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Steve, thought we have not even started to collect
any data I'm not sure what new statements we are going to get from the
constituencies. This issue is has been in the pipe for almost a year by
now and I'm sure does it serves nobody to rush the process now only to 
cut a couple of weeks at the end.
