As a champion procrastinator, I don't agree.

More realistically, it takes time for the word to percolate out to various
groups and individuals who probably aren't on this list.  And then most
probably don't have a talk idea ready to go, they have to mull it over for a
while.  Once they come up with something, it can take A LOT of time to put
together a proposal: roughing it out, fixing it up, showing it around to
people to see what they think, etc...

Takes me a long time and I've been doing it for over a decade now.  "The Next
Generation" of speakers will probably be far slower to get the word and react.
