Thanks Gergana, I've sent this on to the PC, we may be tight on time as the NCC Communications folks want to proofread the whole thing (as is right and proper) but we'll see. If it doesn't go in for 77, we'll have lots more time to consider it for 78. But I've also raised the point about the PC asking this question of submitters later in the process. Thanks, Brian Brian Nisbet Network Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +35316609040 brian.nisbet at heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.

Personally I wouldn't view a more junior person automatically as less capable, but unfortunately I agree that there are some who might... I like the new verion. I have one final proposal/addition, in []. I realise it is a repetition to "new and different", but repetition is good in this case: "The RIPE PC and the RIPE Community are always looking to hear new and different voices in the sessions, so when submitting, please always consider if another member of your project or team [whom we haven't heard from yet] may be able to present the material." What we (or maybe better the PC?) could also do is go through all the accepted talks and for "repeat" speakers send a message that says this. Thoughts?

I know exactly what you mean and young voices are definitely welcome, but I don't want people to think that young/different = more junior or that the person on stage isn't as good and as capable of presenting as the person who might otherwise have been up there, if that makes sense?
