Guys, does anyone know if the adcom will call anyone upfront releasing decision on portal? Seems from previous round that people started getting calls like 2 days in advance and the process was completed by 10.30am on Dec 14.

Yeah I think in R1 the calls were geography based, but I could be wrong. I would keep my phones free 2 days before the deadline. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you Evgart .

Thanks mate, wish you all the luck as well! I bet at this stage it's pure luck:-)
