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
