changes (out of 235 total), all Category Change requests were
taken and fulfilled before February 15. The change requests are
available for all Track Chairs to review and we also have a filter for
"Just Moved Here" so you can track presentations that are new to your
talk. In the case of the Products, Tools & Services track, only one
talk was moved after February 15. <br>
<br>
The reason that we do this in 2 phases is so everyone has a chance to
review not only their own track, but those presentations that were moved
from another track to their own. In this case, 95% of track changes
were completed before the track chairs would have started the second
phase.<br>
<br>
The impetus for the Foundation approving the changes is primarily to
take one
more thing off the plate of our Track Chair volunteers. That said, if it
presents an undue burden, let's figure out how we can make it better.
It involves a lot of discussion and support, so it would increase the
amount of time needed for volunteers.<br>
<br>
We always take feedback at the end of the process to see what did and
didn't work, so keep all of the above in mind and let's discuss how to
make your jobs easier :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jimmy<br>

needs some refinement. This was a problem for Barcelona too. I think
the core issue is that track change requests should be reviewed and
