1. are proposals public or not
Nope. They get mailed/uploaded, a committee reviews them and it's over. The junta doesn't have a say in picking/commenting on proposals.
any special reason for this? IMO for a community event public exposure is good. However if this decision holds, there is no need to discuss the process at all - proposals get mailed to the head of the committee. He circulates it among the members, decides on the selected talks and it gets put up on the site.
That's what I thought and it's what seems most natural to me. Quite frankly, your line of thought didn't even occur to me. I'm not sure how much benefit there will be in soliciting comments from the general audience and trying to make it more 'democratic'. However, if there's sufficient interest in doing it this way, we can go ahead. I'm not religious about it either way. I feel that your approach requires more work and coordination. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
