Seems no one had a problem with a Friday validation, so one validation will occur at 3pm eastern time on Friday (it's 1:20 pm eastern as I post this, to help with time zone translation).
There was a suggestion that Monday would be better than Tuesday, so I'm posting a poll on the timing for the other validation. Mondays, unfortunately, are difficult for me, but I could do a validation Monday early evening, with the chance it would slip to Tuesday morning sometimes ...
