 Thanks for volunteering to moderate one of the presentation sessions! 
 Presentation sessions are 30 minute sessions in which a speaker is making a slide presentation to the contributors.  
 Your contribution will make sure everyone can share knowledge and collaborate.
 
 To be a successful moderator, you’ll complete the following tasks:
 
-* Arrive at least 5 minutes before the session is scheduled to start
-* Make sure the speaker shows up -- hopefully a few minutes early to setup

+* If there is time for Q&A, facilitate the Q&A.  Take the handheld mic, if available, and bring it to folks who have questions.  Make sure that several people get to ask their questions, rather than allowing one person to dominate Q&A. Exception: sometimes Q&A will become a discussion between the presenter and relevant SIG leads; you should allow this to proceed.  
+* Keep an eye on the summit slack channels.
 
 Thank you once again for your help and support. We hope you enjoy taking part in the Contributor Summit!
