The correct thing to do is to post the list of candidates when it's
ready, which is a week from now, not today. :P According to the
timeline, candidates have another week to submit their presentations.

However, it's pretty clear in the rules that the acceptance has to
happen *before* the end of the nomination period. I can confirm that I
have spoken to Gabriele and knew he accepted his nomination. If Matteo
can also confirm that he received that email, I don't see a problem
accepting this candidacy.
