15 of us so far like the Compromise Idea: option 1 plus so-called option 4, midSept start ATD12 and January start ATD13.
We seem to have something approaching consensus. It's not perfect but is a transition compromise, from a twice a year draft to a once-a-year winter tradition.
Yes, if there are no objections,... and I will run a tight ship: we will be done everything by the end of November! No way will it carry into the December season (the last two weeks before Xmas is HELL in many people's schedules).i hope you are still considering guiding the ship for atd12 vanislander.

Frankly, if you need 12 hours for your pick in a fun draft with a bunch of people you'll never meet, you probably don't have your priorities right.
.
Using much of your 12-hour deadline because you were sleeping, at work, or spending time with your family tells me that you do have your priorities straight.
if the windows aren't too long then that isn't a big problemBut if it's 8 hours into someone's deadline I'd rather we're not thinking "boy, what a jerk, we have a draft to run here, and he's using his whole window..." we should be thinking "obviously he has a life that is more important than the draft, and if he uses his whole window, so be it! Should have left a list, but that's life."
24 hours more for last minute feedback here...16 of us (a majority) like the Compromise Idea: option 1 plus so-called option 4, midSept start ATD12 and January start ATD13.
We are close to consensus. In the absence of strenuous objections, it'll be nice to have agreed on what to do.
One more week to gauge opinions, then most likely: expect a two-week sign-up period for ATD12 to commence September 1st and a PM invite to all who have posted on this thread to be sent to you no later than Sept. 2nd for a Friday, September 18th start to ATD12 and an unspecified midJanuary start to ATD13.
It is possible that some may opt out of the fall draft but it is hoped all can participate in the winter draft, the first of what is expected to be an annual event.
