I hadn’t considered testimonials. I’m not in a position to coordinate those before we can make the call. Anyone else on marketing@c.a.o <mailto:marketing@c.a.o> that could jump in here? > > Also, I will need to lock in the copy ~12 hours before announcing on the > newswire service. > > ...so Wednesday might possibly be a better option. > ...and getting copy in place before the weekend would be helpful for those > not working after close of business Friday (not us!) Based on your previous 12 hrs requirement, my thought was “start vote on a Thursday, work on the PR over the weekend, send to you early Monday, release Tuesday”, but if you say pre-weekend is better, we should get something going soon.
