Longer, shorter, I don't know, all I know is that if I'm hosting a meeting at Sun (as a for instance, as I'm sure the same applies to other orgs), if I don't have an accurate *final* count of participants 15 or more days prior to the meeting, I might not be able to accomodate the meeting properly. That's all I meant (and I believe that's all I said).
