Maybe it could be a part of the mentoring program / newcomers introduction to live test the mic in a more relaxed environment, so one gets comfortable with the acoustics.
* The piloting of slido for getting more questions than the speakers, than just besides the mic. I tried the mic once and I had eh, startup problems. No worries though
Thank you for this feedback! I think it's important to acknowledge that we have a lot of different thinkers in our community, not all are confident queuing up at the mic but that doesn't mean their contribution is less worthy. I hope that the PC/WG Chair collective keep using it.
