I'd say very possible given there's a reg fee now, but you can't add
a copresenter unless they are reg so at least all of the
copresenters are registered!
This is a good thing to note for either planning or the app
design... ensuring we figure out who's accepted and not yet completed
registration so we can nagmail as needed. Should be quite simple to
accomplish but maybe having a button option is worthwhile. When
should folks receive acceptance notifications?

FWIW, I agree with this. Gratitude to Mo for the initial analysis of
numbers. 7 tracks seems like an awful lot at one time, but I
understand talk acceptance often motivates attendance or funding. I
put in a few notes with my votes (har!) where I saw an opportunity to
combine talks.
