well to be fair, i don't care if its published or the info through pm, personally, and I'm asked transfer the SOJS before I'm told the info. But i just can't sign the dotted line till i know we're in agreement, that's all.
It's up to the organizer if he wants secrecy to and extend, that's up to him/them. But logically i can't promise to be somewhere that i don't know when is.
