Two > weeks seems like too short) For the talks team I'd consider to start with the ranking process at 2013-06-01 a good idea. Past experience shows that this process also takes about two weeks. I would not have any problem if in this time some late comers might drop in. In other words: Yes, two weeks is IMHO to short but to keep the pressure for "traditional" late comers I would not mind if we stick to this short window in the first place and see how many we get. Opening another window of additional 7 to 10 days afterwards would be perfectly fine for me because I think we will not loose anything. > - Talks scheduling team.

I'm in favour of waiting what kind of talks will be submitted and create some kind of tracks once we have them all but I'm open to declare some "main topics" in advance if some of you might imagine such topics.
