  extra-atcs to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/
 reference/projects.yaml before the Extra-ATC freeze on August 17\, 2023.\n

 ze\n\nThe Bobcat-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects following t

 eeze\n\nYou are no longer allowed to accept proposed changes containing mo

 should happen when RC1 is published).\n\n\n\nRequirements freeze\n\nAfter 
 the Bobcat-3 milestone\, only critical requirements and constraints change
 s will be allowed. Freezing our requirements list gives packagers downstre
 am an opportunity to catch up and prepare packages for everything necessar
 y for distributions of the upcoming release. The requirements remain froze
 n until the stable branches are created\, with the release candidates.\n\n
 \n\nCycle Highlights\n\nCycle highlights need to be added to the release d
 eliverables after the feature freeze to be included in any marketing relea
 se messaging. Highlights may be added after this point\, but they will lik
 ely only be useful for historical purposes.\n\nSee the Project Team Guide 
 for more details and instructions on adding these highlights.\n\nFor examp
 les of previous release highlights: Stein Highlights\, Train Highlights\, 
 Ussuri Highlights\, Victoria Highlights\, Wallaby Highlights\, Xena Highli
 ghts\, Yoga Highlights\, Zed Highlights.\n\n\n\n2024.1 Election Nomination
  Begins\n\nCandidates interested in serving for the next calendar year (TC
 )\, or development cycle (PTL) should announce their candidacies and platf
 orms during this week.  Please see the Election site for specific timing i
