Hum..

I'm pretty sure Christoph would have followed any procedure if he had 
been aware of it but then again people make mistakes all the time after 
all that's what's makes us human.

Do you inform/announce/remind the relevant parties in the community 
about your release schedule at the beginning of each release cycle?

As it currently stands, the schedule doesn't have a date for notifying that there is a artwork request deadline for CD artwork.  The Ambassadors schedule, last cycle, was changed to reflect that any CD artwork requests be in by the Beta release date, since artwork for CDs (and other things) begins then on the Design team schedule.

In the interest of getting back to the topic at hand (How to fix spins and what is the project's position on them, not How to Dissect Who is Following the Schedule Properly), I will do my part to help fix part of Spins by taking this part (the schedule part) of the thread over to the design-team list and making sure that we have the appropriate dates in their schedule so that EVERYONE can be on the same page, and make sure that deadline is called out loud and clear every cycle.
