Yeah, the calendar shows more the expected duration of each steps but as a timeline it's a bit confusing. The tasks can be parallelized and it's also possible to do stuff on Thursdays and Fridays :) The hard constraints are the following: * the board meeting is the 17th * the resolution must be submitted at least 72 hours before (the deadline is usually Monday) which would be the 15th. * the IPMC must have voted the board resolution before, another 72 hours, usually the week-ends don't count so that would be the 9th * finally the community vote is one more 72 hours which would get you to the 4th. So you have 4 more days after Sunday :) But there's no reason to rush out, I'm just clarifying the timeline, you'll be ready when you'll be ready and you can also target Nov. 21st.

I think that's pretty much it. Compared to everything that comes before, graduation is a pretty straightforward process (even if it takes time).
