Hello Track Chairs, 

Here are my 2 cents on the voting. 

I think it’s great that we are clarifying the process & the reasoning behind it. 
(I am new at this, so apologies if I am exhibiting any nOOb behavior, but…) I am still concerned about asking community members to go through 1,500+ talks. Even when diligently going through categories, there are sometimes 50+ talks in each track. My fear is that the ones that are displayed first would get the most votes before people just get fatigued or get interrupted by something else. I can’t think of an elegant solution to this short of changing the User Interface, but perhaps, there is a quick way to randomize the order in which the talks are displayed so that every talk has an equal chance of being “on top of the pile”? 
Finally, from a user experience right now (on Chrome for me), when I change tracks, the presentation panel on the right side of the screen still shows me the last presentation I had viewed from the previous track without “refreshing” to the first talk on this new track. I fear this may be misleading to some. Example: Evaluating OpenStack Track – First talk: Evaluation of OpenStack from mission critical view point. Change categories to: Community Building. The Presentations tab on the left refreshes with the new content, but I still see the abstract & details of “Evaluation of OpenStack from…” 

Thanks!
