<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:#888888">With the exception of 11 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>

There may also be some scoping issues with generic tracks like Case Studies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
