This is a good suggestion and I hope the PC takes note.

Well RIPE holds meetings, not conferences. [But that seems to be changing unfortunately.] It's up to the Programme Committee, not the NCC, to decide what information is provided about the plenary sessions. WG chairs have the same responsibility for their WG agendas. The NCC just arrange to publish that information. They're not responsible for the content.
