I keep reading that name as “Unconfirmed.”
I had the same experience the first time I looked at it.
Mm.. and re the 2027 Eastercon/Unconfined, there may be items (early days yet) re (i) the 60th anniv of the very 1st showing (in Canada / mid Sept and then in UK / late Sept) of the mega cult TV show THE PRISONER and (ii) the 50th anniv of the furthest out (but still currently transmitting) satellites: Voyagers 1 and 2… best wishes and BCNU.
