late in the year? I think it would make more sense to have it as early as

Thanks for the question.  Because lack time by people who are running it, and 
setting up POTY is quite tricky (generating lists, setting up scripts, setting 
up the interface, requesting CN banner, bugfixes of issues, etc.)  and it 
involves bureaucracy ;).


Best,

Not trying to criticize anyone or anything, but why is this starting so
late in the year? I think it would make more sense to have it as early as
possible.
