<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All -<br>
<br>
A quick edit to the dates. They should read <b>SUNDAY</b><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">, August 21 at 11:59pm PDT
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">(August 22nd at 6:59 UTC)</span>. Not Monday. After midnight Pacific on Sunday, all Track Chair decisions should be made. Apologies for the error.<br>
