Just keep in mind that the first and foremost requirement (assuming other conditions are satisfied) is "availability of venue for our published dates." We have an opportunity to adjust those dates once we decide to publish dates beyong 2022, or (exceptionally) change what we have published with sufficient notice and reason. I tend to agree that early November is probably better than "week before Thanksgiving in the US." Ole Ole J.
