Unless expedited, that date is likely to be some time in 2012:

http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#transition-reqs
http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html

In my opinion, whether expedited or not, Formal Objections that are 
vague, incomplete, do not provide substantive arguments or rationale 
serve absolutely no purpose what so ever.  If such are pursued they are 
likely to be summarily dismissed.  If they are withdrawn, similar or 
more complete Formal Objections on the same issue can be raised in the 
future.

It should come as no surprise that I advocate exhausting all available 
means before a Formal Objection is raised in the first place.

That being said, if a Formal Objection is raised it will be dutifully 
recorded and reported at the time of next Transition Request in whatever 
form the objector provides.
