[games_access] same proposal in multiple tracks

[Reid Kimball]

Our goal from day one has always to affect the industry at large to
make games for all. I'm not sure what you are suggesting specifically
other than "use our resources wisely". I personally want to talk to as
many people as I can about CC in games. I'm willing to prepare for how
ever many sessions I'm allowed to.

I think we are trying something new this year by trying to speak to
people in different tracks. Before it was tutorial days or serious
summits and mobile roundtables or such which is great.

I don't understand what the issue is?
