<br>
It's 5 presentations an 1 alternate. I went ahead and updated your Lightning Talk total to 2.<br>
<br>
For clarity, the basic ratios are this:<br>
<br>
0-9 presentations get 1 alternate<br>
10-19 presentations get 2 alternates<br>
20-29 presentations get 3 alternates<br>
<br>
Lightning talks were decide on a track by track basis, but they generally follow the same rules.<br>

<br>
We have a question for the Telco & NFV Strategies track - is it 6<br>
presentations, or 5 presentations and 1 alternate, that we are selecting?<br>
<br>
Also, I asked about whether there's a possibility of a 2nd lightning<br>
talk slot in a different email - how does that allocation work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

That's not quite right. You have the following selections to make:<br>
<br>
9 sessions + 1 alternate<br>
2 lightning talks<br>
<br>
You can see how to manage those by watching this video:<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8meeot74BXk&t=17s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8meeot74BXk&t=17s</a><br>
<br>
The numbers are spelled out as (0/10 selections) and (0/2 lightning talks selections)<br>
<br>
As per my previous email, we're in the middle of tracking a bug, so please hold off on setting your final Team selection until that is resolved.<br>
<br>
Thanks and let me know if you have further questions.<br>

We have not yet decided on final numbers for tracks or lightning talks. Once we have that, the numbers will appear in the Track Chair tool. That's why I've suggested holding off on your selections until after voting :)<br>
<br>
As far as alternates, yes, we provide options for 1-3 alternates, depending on tracks. That number will also be visible in your selection tool.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
