From the transcript
So we should— so we have time to look at it. We don't have to make a decision this year even. So this is Karen, and I, I know we have time, but at the same time we don't have time, right? If we are able to make a decision here sometime this summer to get it taken care of, then when the budgeting season starts, um, which that whole thing starts in October, they have time to prepare for the following year. So it's important, I think, for us to do this early rather than waiting, because then everybody is we're kind of pushing up everybody's deadline at that point.
