TIME IS IMPORTANT:

We intend to follow a strict guideline for managing time. We request all the participants to cooperate us. In that way we not only can save other's time, but also our time. However, time management is a community effort; a single person or five, ten people cannot do it unless everybody makes it a rule and cooperates.
