Hmmm - 10 minutes to:
"assess the candidate's ability to apply expert-level networking skills
and knowledge to networking problems that are encountered on the job"
What if I speak like Forest Gump?
I aced my Private Pilot oral exam, so the Examiner cut it SHORT, but it
was still longer than 10 minutes!
Interesting.

I understood it to mean that a 1 hour window allows the panel(s) to
speak to every candidate separately, each for 10 mins.
