Instead of votes, we may ask for written comments instead: I'd read those if I were a track chair and undecided about a proposal.

I agree with Stef on all of this. I think we should have the ability for people to leave comments on a proposal, which then also necessitates having all of the talks visible at some point. Yes, there will likely be some spam management to be handled, but I think it's a small price to pay. We may even find that comments are helpful in shaping the talks and improving them prior to the summit. ---- Nick
