Yep, it's dragged on for a while. However, in all the meetings and
discussions recently, it's been underlined that SIG's shouldn't allow
this uncertainty to keep them from doing things right now - IGDA has
been encouraging us to just get on with stuff, and they'll handle on
an ad-hoc basis any issues that come up. So long as we keep them
informed, I'm sure it'll be fine.

May IRC:

Key holidays and conferences from some quick googling:
 - US has Memorial Day on the 26th
 - UK has two major bank holiday weekends, 3rd-5th, and 24th-26th
 - ION conference, may 13th-15th
 - Nordic Game conference, may 14th-15th

Howabout Saturday 10th May (or Sunday 18th May - but I'd prefer sooner
rather than later)?
