As a practical matter, I need to get my travel approvals and make my travel plans quite in advance. I can only get approval for a pre-conf I know about, so if a pre-conf comes too late, it won't be something I can possibly attend. I expect I am not alone here. I would suggest that you should plan to have the pre-confs _set_ (not just proposals received) by the time registration opens. Realistically I usually register first, and _then_ get my approval to go, figuring if I don't get approval I can always give up my spot. Perhaps this is what you were already planning? As long as the pre-confs are actually determined by registration open, I think it's reasonable. Ideally they'd be determined in advance of registration though. Jonathan Kevin S.
