- Be even more stringent about the 10/20/40-min splits. A lot of speakers still default to the 20- or 40-min formats without providing us shorter formats, and that puts strain on our schedule and requires us to use a different template for the notification (which can be confusing). We need to stress that not respecting the format makes it harder not only for the organizers, but also for the speakers themselves (since they will have to rethink their presentation).
+- Two people is the sweet number of reviewers to have for the proposals before sending the notifications, and there’d be diminishing returns with more. Two is enough to release the pressure on SCHED, verify the metadata (esp. speaker availability), and suggest a different ordering where appropriate. It can take a long time to comb through the proposals (roughly 10 proposals per hour), and whilst it’d be difficult to justify more in-depth reviewers, other orgas can do a shallow-pass to catch red-flags.
