I haven't yet prepared the presentation. I am willing to cover whatever 
you think is important. Indeed 20m allotted time is too short. So, I 
should either adjust myself to this short time-slot or ask for more. 
Given that the other sessions are also 20m, I was thinking to have a 
short talk (with less of contents). If you feel that people can benefit 
from longer presentation, I will be happy to get more time for it. 
40-45m will be great.
