participation in session development which will help us to identify the "cross-community" sessions vs. topic sessions facilitated by a single group. The form also allows users to indicate a longer (180 min) duration for a Cross Community Topic Session if desired.
Currently, the longer duration is not an option for a HIT session, however, this is flexible, so it shouldn't be the cause for any concerns. (If a HIT for 180 min is preferred, please include a note in the comments section.)
