Oisin,

Obviously I can't speak to how you want to handle the process but in 
terms of the software you can simply leave the talk as "NEW" until you 
make the final decision.  We're working on "the Big Button" to move all 
of the talks from tentative to final status.  At that time it will 
verify that you have no talks in NEW status (meaning, some decision has 
been made: WITHDRAWN, ACCEPT, DECLINE).  It won't let you move to 
finalized status without a decision being made on the talk.  Anything 
left in the NEW status will generate an error.

Hope that helps

Karl
