>    - Joana’s audio and fast pace was very challenging.
>    - Other than a stable Internet connection (we know it can be
>    challenging), it’s important that the presenters/participants speak into
>    the mic (sometimes they use the mic from the apple earphones while the
>    cable is moving).
>    - Having the presentations ahead of time (at least 24 to 48h) is very
>    helpful (no time to prepare if they are distributed just before the call).
>    - For the quiz at the end of the call: it would be helpful to read the
>    questions for people who are only connected on the phone *(ACTION ITEM
>    noted for STAFF)*
>    - For the Q&A slot: the presenter read very fast the questions from
>    the chat (sometimes without even finishing reading the whole question) and
>    responded. This is very hard to follow for the interpreters. Suggestion:
>    say first the name of the person asking the question, then read the whole
>    question at a *normal * pace before answering.
>    - The speed of speakers both live and on video was quite fast for
>    interpretation, especially considering there were  several Quiz questions
>    requiring attendees’ interaction during the presentations.
>
>
>
> Also, here is a list of recommendations for speakers that might help in
> preparation of future sessions.
>
>    - Turn off all sound notifications (Skype, WhatsApp, emails, etc.)
>    while participating in a session.
>    - Minimize background noise and interference.
>    - Mute your computer/device mic or phone when you are not taking the
>    floor *(THIS WILL BE SOLVED IN WEBINAR ROOM)*
>    - State your name *every time* you take the floor.
>    - Whenever possible, use a stable Internet or phone connection (We
>    recognize the challenges some participants may face in this regard).
