you need to have submitted a BOF proposal by the deadline. See  
RFC5434, Section 2, Step 5.

It *is* your final chance in the sense that if that doesn't convince  
the IESG/IAB that we should schedule the BOF, there is no second chance.

What I said yesterday is that once you've passed that hurdle (getting  
a slot), you are then obviously free to further tune the material in  
preparation of the actual BOF.
