For me, the quality of the presentation matters - I do not really care
who presents if the quality of the work is good and the presentation
is interesting to follow. And I happen to prefer no presentation over
a bad one. ;-)

We do rate almost everything in online systems these days. From this
perspective, it is surprising that there is no way for participants to
online rate presentations - the usual paper feedback form we fill out
at the end of many conferences is somewhat surprising for techies like
us.
