Release lead is probably the best person to put together the slides, but it can also be something the lead, comms lead, and enhancement lead for a release can decided on the best way to pull the presentation together.
For this release i asked the release and enhancement lead about creating slides 1 week before the webinar was scheduled. Lead put together the slides and we had a quick 10 minute meeting to talk about how to run through the slides on the webinar. Lead and Enhancements lead alternated on each slide and mostly just read out the content on the slides and maybe added a little more context. As a comms lead you dont have to talk on the presentation, but you can if you want to.
The presentation isn't intended to be very technical. Just an overview of the changes. The listeners may have questions but its perfectly fine to direct them to read the KEP or asking in the sig-slack channel to get more information. So there is no need to be an expert on any of the changes. The CNCF has a moderator on the webinar with you to help with running the webinar, recording, and managing the chat. They don't need the slides ahead of time, you just show up with the slides to the webinar.
