<br>
The "Telecom & NFV Operations" track was one of the first to be finalized, but it was done while we were tracking a bug in building the list. Until March 8, the "final team list" was listed under Beth Cohen's personal selections. I swapped the lists on March
8 so that everything was listed in the correct spot. Additionally, per the Track Chairs for this same track, two presentations were merged.
<br>
<br>
Email from Track Chair Beth Cohen detailing this:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:30.0pt;line-height:16.5pt">
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2b2e2f">Folks -<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:30.0pt;line-height:16.5pt">
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2b2e2f">The Telecom Track Chair team got together and chose our selections.
<br>
Unfortunately there is something wrong with the list as you can see from <br>
the attached snapshot. The correct list is all the ones that are marked <br>
as Yes by Beth Cohen and have a comment that the team selected it. We <br>
would also like to rank them to show the correct alternatives.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
