Why is there a submission deadline?
91视频 needs time to process submissions, prepare materials and ensure the Committee can review everything in advance of their meeting. We often receive a high volume of submissions to the Registration Committee. Submitting early also gives staff time to follow up with you if anything needs clarification before it goes to the Committee.
The Registration Committee meets every other month. If you miss the submission deadline, your submission will be scheduled for the next available Committee meeting instead.
