Note W3C management approved the first week of May.

Of course we're monitoring the list. We are also trying to settle the 
precise date for the May E2.0 event as well as get a few more players 
(Crushpath, Monica Wilkinson, etc. to confirm to the new dates). We were 
hoping to have this settled by today to launch Tuesday, it appears that 
we may have to launch Thursday. Overall, I think that's still enough 
time. It's better to do a single launch well than a quick launch no-one 
notices.

We will discuss how to get the CFP far and wide tomorrow on the 
SocialBiz call.
