    Thanks for the discussion, and I can imagine that there might be a
    risk involved if somebody decides to make a submission.<br>
    <br>
    But that's the way reviewed contributions are going to be published.<br>
    <br>
    7 months before the conference is not early, if we are lucke, we can
    handle the review, selection, publishing process in time.<br>
