Hi guys, We rejected abstract 314 by Song, Pire, Lorce. I received complaints separately from Lorce and Pire asking me to reconsider. Song's abstract with Kumano was accepted, but Kumano told me that neither he nor Song can travel. However, Pire says if Song presents their work, he can be funded by Ecole Polytechnique. But this means Song will give two in-person talks. I know Song, not a particularly strong researcher, frankly, and I have a hard time giving him two talks in this competitive selection. But maybe we can reduce both talks to 15 minutes and also reduce Pire's and Lorce's other abstracts 343 and 327 to 15 minutes we can accommodate, since 20x3=15x4? Best Yoshitaka
