Wayne, Konstantin,
I tried to answer your questions at a blog post I’ve written
which you’ve seen I guess.
It is not that only long talks are short in supply, slots in
general are very limited. I can understand that new projects proposals
need some attention, however with the space available we cannot even
cover all new projects and the existing projects in
depth.
With the time and the resources available it is simply not
feasible to have a detailed description for each and every talk why
that specific one was or wasn’t selected. In the end the PC has to make
a decision on the information available (abstract, project
status, …) as well as some feeling how well accepted a talk will be by
the attendees. The first part is easy (as it is based on facts) whereas
the second part is pretty though and obviously reflects the opinions of
the people involved.
I think in that special case it is just too early (project is
still in pre-project phase) to justify a short or even a long talk
(given that we are very limited on those anyway…)
