That sounds ok but it feels incomplete; there are additional steps and dates 
needed leading up to the 16th December decision point.

I would suggest: 1 December 2019: final version of each proposed conversion 
tool is available, trial conversion repository of the full GCC SVN repository 
is posted for public examination.

That allows 2 weeks for the different tools and their output to get the 
scrutiny needed for the picking decision to be made.  2 weeks may be more than 
needed (or possibly, less), but in any case I think this piece needs to be 
called out.
