Yes, so you want a 60-minute talk and
it is yet to be determined whether it'll be the standard long-talk in a
standard long-talk venue or a standard long-talk in a large room on the
main stage. BTW, I am very comfortable in front of large audiences as I
was a pianist/vocalist in my prior life and stil perform regularly for
clubs and corporate affairs.

Hi Mike. The EclipseCon programme committee would
very much like to have 
an accessibility talk on the main stage. It's just a long talk (60 
minute) presented in the big room. The only real wrinkle is that the 
talk needs to have a speaker who is comfortable with a room that large.
I'm hopeful that, assuming you're interested, a talk from ACTF will be
suitable.

To summarize. Please submit however many proposals you'd like. I'd very
much like for at least one talk to be a 60-minute one. I'm hopeful that
an ACTF 60-minute talk to be on the main stage. At this point, I can't
promise the main stage as I haven't seen all the submissions yet and 
ultimately will choose the most appropriate talk for that venue.

Does this make sense?
