Subject: Re: [PHC] Proposed timeline changes

I suggest to

1) Move the submission deadline from January 31 to March 31 (with unchanged
requirements)

2) Agree on a new tentative timeline before March 31 (which may be further
revised depending on the quantity and quality of submissions)

Any objection?
