Based on the feedback we have received, we are postponing the submission

Thanks for being a great community and we will continue to do our best

Dear IO500 Community,
We have heard your concerns about the late announcement of changes and have already taken
one concrete action and are considering a second but we want your feedback about it first.
We are considering postponing our BoF, and our deadline, by one month. Since we are not
tied to ISC this year, we have this latitude. Are there any objections from the community
to this postponement?
For our concrete action, we will shift future schedules so that three months from an
event we release a candidate benchmark and the likely rules set for public testing. Then
commit to 6 weeks before the event to finalize the benchmark and rules. Then things are
locked until after the event.
Please let us know how you feel about the possible postponement and please do know how
deeply we value you all in our community that makes everything we do possible.
Based on the feedback received, we will make and announce our final decision by EOD
Sunday AOE.
Thanks,
The IO500 Committee
