<div dir="ltr"><div>NO! Definitely not official--that is my own personal suggestion. For our workshop, I found that my preferred discussants could not always confirm they would be in Bali. So I asked them to confirm they would participate--and that if they could not be in Bali physically, that they would join us remotely. For me, this was a way to confirm my panel participants, even though they did not yet have funding to travel to Bali. Chengetai did confirm that this is a viable option and that remote presenters will have tech support.<br>
