I'd say that Open Day selection people should also be able to mark
things as "official", then.
As a side note, I noticed how all of {"advertisement" via in published
proceedings/printed schedule, video recording, travel sponsorship} are
all coupled by being called "official". For some Open Day talks we'd
probably want to include them in official schedule, etc, since we want
people to know what is coming, but perhaps not record/provide travel
sponsorship to hear them.
(I thought the same was true of some other talks, too, but as I'm sort
of an outsider this may already be how it works.)
