Could you tell me what "extended" means in the following passage, please? Thanks.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of Abstract: August 21, 2006 (extended)
Notification of Acceptance: September 11, 2006
Pre-registration: October 16 - November 27, 2006
Submission of Final Manuscript: November 20, 2006
Conference: December 11-14, 2006
Option 1.
It means that the deadline has been put back to a later date, by the look of it.
The time for submission has been extended.
There is no indication of the new "extended" deadline, though.
Option 2.
The date shown may ACTUALLY be the extended date. The original date, having been earlier, when these deadlines were first drawn up.
You'd better check it out with the author(s) of this document.
That is the extended date.
I certainly hope you're correct......but
It is really not ambiguous at all.
Stumble It!
