Perhaps the deadline does not need to refer to when talks might be 
approved, and in fact it would make sense for selected talks/panels to 
be approved ASAP.
Maybe there can be 3 categories at this early stage:

1. Definite approval
2. Potential approval -- might be a reason to supply some more details 
about a proposal
3. Unknown or waiting list
