I think CBS AA has plans for when season 2 premieres unless Netflix has dictated they must have so many episodes in 2018 which maybe season 2 and 3 are both in that calendar year.
I don't think they will be shooting season 1 and 2 back to back but i think they will use feedback from season 1 and San Diego Comic Con in July 2017 promotion and Las Vegas Star Trek convention in August 2017 for season 2.
Well what you term 'production' (prior to filming) could be more accurately termed 'pre-production'.
January 24 through September 7 is about 32 weeks of shooting, enough time to shoot a full 26-episode Star Trek season back in the days. It does look like they are planning to shoot two seasons of DIS back to back. That, or they're planning for a really relaxed shooting pace!
Standard production cycle for a 1-hour episode is 8 shooting days, though these days a lot of shows mix it up depending on the needs of their specific production, if they have to block shoot for locations or whatever. I know TNG did 7 day shoots, which is impressive.
But assuming 8 shoot days a show, that has them wrapping ep 13 in June sometime.
I'm not too familiar with the particulars of the IATSE contract, but I wonder if Sep 7 is just when the annual contract expires? It might be that whenever you start with them, the agreement runs until the next Sep 7, at which point you have to refresh the paperwork and become signatory to the new contract, if you are going to continue production beyond that.
EDIT: nope, I'm totally wrong! Went to the IATSE website and they have different wrap dates for all the shows listed there. Well, that is strange then.

January 24th starts filming, January 25th start the leaks! 
This is not political, but the thread title brought to mind that infamous quip by Reagan for some reason: "We begin bombing in five minutes"... 
Tells you a little about my mind.

Apparently Discovery is pushed back again. I hope it doesn't become a fall series. If I had my druthers I would like to see it premiere in July. Still keep it a summer show but away from all the Fall shows. And I just got into Arrow so I'm watching 3 of the four D.C. Shows during the fall season.
DSC keeps feeling (to me) like a show that's never going to happen. Like, CBS will sink a ton of money into this and then one day it will be five years later with no sign of the show, and somebody will ask the network what happened and they'll have forgotten that they were ever producing it.
^ Even with the latest delay?

Yes.
The premiere may be delayed.
The sources reporting this also report that production will begin next week.
Since Netflix gave them a ton of money(actually all the money) to make the show, somebody will probably be knocking on the door way before the five years is up.
