Nov 1-10: Discussion. People are free to post SAs/CEs/full stat cards for discussion, but no voting takes place yet.

To me this is WAY too short of a time span for official stat entry. I see no reason why the discussion cannot happen simultaneously as people submit their stats. Stats can certainly be modified (just edit your post) throughout the submission period so that when the voting time comes lock the thread if desired so each person only has one submission that is no longer editted.
Discussion of stats should be handled in the project threads that way the stat threads are just that stat submissions and nothing else.
Initial submission period should probably be the longest followed closely by a "final tweaks" period. a few days for voting is fine, but really votes should be limited to perhaps 3. My restriction was so that people don't ONLY vote for themselves - which should help slightly in varying the top choices.
Honestly the "discussion of stats" portion sounds basically like figuring out the selection of preffered SAs/CE that I had been throwing around.
so perhaps lets modify this to:
nov 1-10 initial stat submissions
nov 11-12 voting
nov13-18 more in depth stat discussion
nov 19-25 tweak submissions
nov 26-28 final voting
nov29-30 figure point cost discussion
Since it only needs to be a first draft by the end of the month I wouldn't worry so much about the "testing" portion you mention at this time. The big test issues should get worked out in the stat discussion portion anyway.
