Track Chairs took an initial pass to remove obviously erroneous, half
complete, or flat out company pitches. I missed that you were proposing
pre-selecting everything the community votes on, which isn't something
we've done in the past.<br>

<div>I made this suggestion once before but it didn’t get much traction
so I’ll give it another shot. Instead of exposing the community to, in
the case of the ATX summit, 1,300 talks for open voting, what if the
track chairs did a first pass on sifting through
the talks in their respective tracks to remove the wheat from the
chaff, so to speak? Then, take that shortened list of talks to open
voting. You could reduce the amount of time open for voting since there
would be fewer sessions to review.

This is exactly how it worked for Austin :)<br>
