I fully support this proposal! In fact, it's hard to think of much else
to add to Trey's well-reasoned post. I'm certainly hard pressed to dream
up even a wild hypothetical scenario where the difference between a 15-day
and 30-day submission window would make any difference to me. And the
goal of greatly reducing the time to report the results is certainly a
worthy one.
So I'm very much in favor of implementing a 15-day submission window,
starting with this year's SS.
