Friday, October 30
FORMAT:

The presenter will have 25 minutes. The first five minutes will be uninterrupted. After this initial period, we welcome clarifying questions during the talk. These have high value added. If you are confused on a point, chances are many others are as well. Please defer longer discussion-type questions to the Q&A session.

The discussant will have 10 minutes. After which, we open the floor to general questions for 10 minutes. The presenter will not respond directly to the discussion. However, if there is some issue raised in the discussion that an audience member wishes addressed, they can ask during the Q&A. Questions should be short to allow the presenter to respond as well as to ensure everyone who has a question gets a chance to speak.
