It may be that one of the two eastern-plane satellites will set the manoeuvre date. 95066A / 23728's perigee will cross the equator on 2003 Jan 12 UTC; 01044A / 26934 will do likewise on 2003 Jan 22 UTC. By the end of January, 96072A's mean motion will have exceeded the highest value in its history, so a manoeuvre is virtually certain this month.
