Shashank and Sean, did you actually submit proposals or did you just
put proposal ideas into the pre-registration?  We do presentation
selection based on the proposal submissions.  We use pre-reg just to
get a feel for how many people are thinking about speaking and which
topics they're considering.  Often, people will submit ideas at that
stage but ultimately decide not to speak when the proposal call comes
out.

If you intended for your original pre-reg proposal to be an "official"
proposal, then we've missed it.  Please let David and myself know via
email if you didn't show up on the agenda published today.

Thanks,
Chad
