We'll consider the presentations at the top of the list to be the most important to include in the final Summit agenda.

> Please note that everyone on your team shares the Team Selections column. Any changes that you make will override the  selections / order choices that your colleagues may have made in this column. Therefore, before making your final session selections inside the Team Selections tab - we recommend that you and your fellow track chairs schedule time together via WebEx, Google Hangout or another platform to discuss the final team selections. Once you have finalized your selections as a team, add them into the Team Selections tab. The Team Selections tab must be complete no later than Monday, February 29 at 11:59pm PST (March 1 at 7:59 UTC).

> COMBINING SESSIONS OR CREATING NEW PANELS
> Watch the tutorial video HERE <https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/#tutorial>. You may want to combine sessions into panels or other formats, especially if there are multiple submissions about the same topic. However we request that you try to limit the number of new panels to no more than 40% of the selected sessions in your track. If you are creating a new panel then we strongly advise you to include at least one woman speaker on the panel. In order to combine talks or create new panels please follow the instructions <https://youtu.be/NGexUBtOGJg> and email the requested information to speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>.

> COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR FELLOW TRACK CHAIRS
> You have the ability to contact your fellow track chairs directly via their contact information within the tool <http://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/#directory> (by clicking on their name to send an email), but you may also make use of this mailing list to initiate or continue the discussion with all track chairs.
> 
> Reminder - please make all final selections in the tool no later than  February 29 at 11:59pm PST (March 1 at 7:59 UTC). If you have any queries or issues along the way please notify us at speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>
