<p class="MsoNormal">Proposal B is selected by 2 track chair.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Proposal C is selected by 1 track chair.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposal D is selected by 3 track chair.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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).<o:p></o:p></p>
