I object, as I did in previous email. As observed in the minutes, with the experience last year, people will have no problem proposing sessions on day of, and I'd rather avoid showing any kind of apparent (even if unintended) topic-focus implied by preselection, especially with so few pre-selection proposals. I'd rather go with no preselected proposals rather than rubberstamping a few by default just because there were so few proposals. The proposers of these are welcome to do so in-person at the Tech Plenary. I have a feeling that the latter two in particular may overlap with others' proposals (those topics come up a lot in web developer discussions) and thus it would be better to have them combined with similar proposals in real-time. Thanks, Tantek
