All,
Congratulations to DSDP, you have another talk. I upgraded your
aardvark 679
to tentative-accept, removed the aardvark, and changed your
allocation. Just an FYI, this leaves DSDP with no Long aardvarks. No
complaints from me, but if you have another talk that you think should
be in the program, you should add another aardvark long.
I also had a look at Business & Industry. I would like to award a
short talk session to B&I for Donald's second place finish for a
few reasons: a) he was the most over-booked on a percentage basis, b)
he finished working through all his submissions, c) The two short
talks that are marked as Aardvarks were things that I really wanted
to see in the program. I changed the B&I allocation to have three
hours of shorts and changed the status on those two talks to
Tentative-Accept.
In terms of 582 as a MAIN_STAGE presentation. I tagged it as an
Aardvark so that it will show up for consideration as Main_Stage. If
we do choose this as a Main_stage, that would open up a Long slot into
the aardvark pool. Donald, if you want to be able to keep this Long as
B&I, you will need another aardvark out of your 9 declined longs.
If you really don't like any of those, please don't feel obliged to
stuff one in.
Make sense?
Arguments?
Now for third prize...

Actually, this process feels a bit arbitrary. I know you are all
working hard at getting things ready for Tuesday. I am happy to hand
out a third place prize, but I need to make sure that no one is to
upset with the contest. Let me know if you want the Win an Aardvark
contest to continue.

PS: How long will it take until someone says, "I think the
contest should continue and by the way my category is ready..."
