[Air-L] Submission deadline?

[Zach Bastick]

Alas, we are in the same boat as you. Having prepared a paper to submit, we
ran into the UTC cut-off once logged into the submission system and ready
to submit. In our case, we were thrown off by the deadline for the
dissertation awards ("April 15, 2021 by midnight where ever you are") with
that of AoIR2021.
Best regards,
Zach
