And you know this because... ?

Making blanket statements about what the GDC will or won't do, and on what schedule, is perhaps a bit presumptuous. A wise person, even if acting upon inside information obtained through unofficial backchannels, would probably remain silent on this topic lest his prognostication not bear fruit. This would be particularly true when the schedule for any such discussions might be altered for any of a considerable number of very valid reasons (as has already happened several times). Likewise, anyone that had obtained such inside information would be wise to keep it to themselves lest they find that, having proved that they cannot keep such information to themselves, their backchannel might be slammed shut and never to re-open.
