> evaluate the proposal and, if accepted, will announce it on the 
> website of the conference.
>  
> 2. You can submit a proposal for a panel you wish to organize by 
> simply giving its title and a description. The organizing committee 
> will evaluate the proposal and, if it is accepted, will decide whether 
> the organizer should be the sole judge in accepting or rejecting 
> papers. Accepted panel proposals will be announced on the website of 
> the conference and people can then submit papers to the person who has 
> proposed the panel. Papers submitted for a specific panel, but 
> rejected by its organizer(s) may be considered for other panels upon 
> the submitter’s request.
>  
> 3. You can submit an individual paper abstract. The organizing 
> committee will evaluate the abstract and, if accepted, will assign it 
> to the proper panel. Below is a list of SAMPLE panels that the 
> organizing committee put together. This list is NOT complete or final,
