Filing and LERIS

Calendar target versus confirmed release
- An examination date is the date printed in the PRC calendar and current program.
- A filing deadline is a date for completing the application and document process; it does not by itself confirm that an application is complete.
- A target results date stays a target until PRC publishes the results announcement.
- The separate Taiwan SPLE row should not be treated as a domestic CPALE sitting.
