Thank you for 150+ submissions to OBTC

I also appreciate the 169 people who volunteered to review. Each person got 2 or 3 proposals to review. Please try to get them back on time. I hope to begin to make final decisions soon. I expect to initially either 1) Accept, 2) Reject, or 3) Defer the decision. I’m likely to send out many of the deferals for an additional review so some of you may get a third paper later. I previously asked if people would review more than 3 proposals and very much appreciate the 21 people who offered to do more than three (and may still take you up on this).

I think we should have a very good program. I’ll be telling you more about it in a few weeks.
