Because I'm also arranging the Dubai Do and I will be single, living in a trailer park if I spend any more time on FT

And besides, we want to ensure we give everyone ample time to arrange flights etc.

I'm definitely interested, but need dates reasonably in advance to commit... I am not sure if I am hoping for it to happen while I am in Japan or if I'll use that as a pretext to head to Tokyo...

You should be fine until Golden Week at the end of April / beginning of May. Forgive my ignorance, but does Easter make it more difficult for folks to make it to Japan (as opposed to the preceding/following weekend)?
