<p>+1 to continue with community voting. We have always said voting
would be a guide, so that means we can add a couple of extra
speaking slots retrospectively if it makes sense to do so.</p>
<p><joke>Maybe for this round we need to face facts and
acknowledge that "girls are just not interested in our hobbies".
We need to get over it.</joke><br>

<div>I'm a little concerned about the prospect of hitting pause
on Plan A in a few hours, without a clear plan B, and no clear
messaging to communicate this to the community. The timing is
a bit unfortunate, with Adam, Alex,and Edoardo in transit.
Hmmmmm.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the interest of conserving time & effort, can I
propose we run with the community vote tomorrow as we've
promised, and carry on the discussion of how to address
diversity following that? I realise it's imperfect, but I feel
we would have some quick communication to do on short notice,
and I am not in a position to do this on my own. I'm not in
favour of just letting our promised community vote schedule
slip by without comment.</div>

<div dir="ltr">In response to Trisha's question, there
are somewhere in the range of 35-40 speaking slots,
roughly... exact # will depend on submissions &
the final program.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Right now we have 7 submissions by women, and I
know of 1 more coming in, and they all look like
very relevant talks (judging by titles only). </div>

<div>With this motion in play, I'm feeling a little
unsure about whether we are launching the planned
Community Vote in the morning (as advertised, and
people are asking), or not? I'm leaning towards yes,
myself (assuming Alex manages to get it ready
between flights). Does running the Community Vote
interfere with the continuation of this discussion?</div>
