Hallo zusammen,
 
the race for victory is well on! Both Turkey and Poland have vaulted up to
19 SCs, probably confounding expectations of a solo this fall since they're both
in equal measure past the 18 SC threshold. It will be left to the next year to
break this parity.
 
An FPT three-way draw proposal has been submitted for you to vote
on. 
 
Sorry for having kept you waiting for the adjucation. As for the next
deadline, as I am off to Greece for a much needed holiday, I'm lengthening the
winter deadline to Wednesday 21 July. I'll be returning late July and will
only be able to handle one deadline during that time. Dearly need to
recharge my much-depleted Diplo-batteries.
 

Charles
