Hi Simon, Klaus, One of the concerns of doing 2 teleconferences is that (a) the new teleconference time was never pre-announced and may be disadvantaging to the papers being discussed during that teleconference, (b) we have the TC4R symposium just two weeks before, and, (c) it is difficult to get people attend another teleconference shortly before Christmas. I think we need to either reduce the accepted paper or allocate more time for the teleconference in a format that does not disadvantage any of the papers (like doing a "group 1" and a "group 2" format).
