For your submitted application, you didn't include any proposal of |
| 4 |
your timeline, what specific areas you'll be focusing on for |
| 5 |
optimization, what you're aiming to accomplish (10 seconds? 20 |
| 6 |
seconds?), etc. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
We'll need a full proposal- if you can't modify your existing |
| 9 |
application, please place it into the comments so we can review it. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Also, please note that there have been some issues w/ the SoC app |
| 12 |
where candidates do not receive notifications about their proposal- |
| 13 |
please ensure that you're subscribed to it. |

Thanks, and good luck! |
