When these were filed

Each proposal is dated by the first step in its appraisal history, the dated record of steps the portal keeps for it.

2023-Q32026-Q3

The timeline counts 44 of the 59 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 15, so they are left out. Most of them are older proposals, so the early part of the timeline undercounts what was filed then. The register itself records a date for each of them; the gap is in our copy of the histories.

Hatched columns undercount, so they cannot be compared with solid ones. 2 of them cover periods for which we have read few filing dates so far, and they count only the proposals whose date we have.
