Programme Coordinator: Select the sessions that will be part of your RC/WG/TG programme.
Review all proposals submitted to your unit and accept or exclude them based on quality, relevance to your unit, thematic balance, and the number of allocated session slots.
TIP! Use all your allocated sessions. At this stage, you can only make your selection from the sessions created during the Call for Sessions; no new sessions can be added, and unused slots will be lost. To allow some flexibility, you may retain some “backup” or reserve Invited Sessions created in the previous phase, even if not yet fully defined, and refine or repurpose them at a later stage if needed.
TIP! Create a pool of “extra sessions”. When reviewing proposals, identify additional sessions that meet your quality criteria and keep them in reserve. If a selected session is later removed (for example, due to non-compliance with membership requirements), you can activate one or more of these sessions to maintain your full allocation.
