Stuff can happen between now and Proposal Presentations A meteor struck my computer while I was typing the intent to present letter and I missed the E2 deadline. Can I still post this morning? My husband and I submitted a letter of intent to present. We are now divorced. Can we both present separately? I posted my intent to present letter but after more careful review of the TGn procedure and documents I do not understand items a,b,c …. I decide to submit whatever I wanted. I’ll ask for foregiveness later. I’ll miss the deadlines if I have to wait for the next TGn session? How can I get these questions resolved quickly? I posted my proposal to the server prior to deadline E3 as required. Can I post a modification, correction, extension to my proposal after deadline E3? We continued to enhance the proposal after the deadline. Are we restricted to present only what we originally posted or can we present our extended results? Bruce Kraemer, Conexant
