Noel,
Ideally, it would be good to have as much notice as possible that a slot 
will be available. WE should encourage that, as it's in part what the 
summer/sabbatical policy is based on. However, I know that in Ann's 
case, she may not be in a position to decide whether she'll be able to 
do the show until shortly beforehand.

A bigger issue is whether we should set some limit on non-availability 
and show timeslaot retention, even with proper notice. Right now, if a 
group does not give notice and misses more than 2 shows, they lose their 
show (theoretically). Until we can get the energy to get the no-notice 
problem solved, I'm not much inclined to worry about those shows which 
go to the trouble to give us the notice that we've requested in such 
situations.
