Well, that means we have a problem already, doesn't it?

Also, the Old Marines Home deal included meals, iirc -- but
absolutely, you can't tell how much your shopping cart
costs until you price out all the items in it. I tried to
say that in a very nice and polite way on the Conheads
list.

I thought how it was finally settled was 9 month for a
final but a draft no later than 12 months. But that'
srelying on my memory. I haven't been to the archives
lately.

The Proposal Requirements and Guidelines document says
this:

"Only proposals received no later than 9 months prior to
the proposed start date of the Convention will be
considered. We recommended that a draft proposal, including
at least the names of the committee heads, anticipated
location and date, and possible speakers, be submitted not
later than 12 months before the proposed Convention start
date."

If we're changing the deadlines we need to do it, not jsut
on the website but in the doc, and notfy those to whom we
have already provided the doc, since they might be relying
on the information previously provided. Not a big thing but
something will need to be done.
