Re: [802SEC] Final venue choices for our March 8-13, 2009Plenary Session for your review
Better judgments/earlier adjustments for attendance can likely be obtained
by making the early registration period open sooner and the "ratchet up
point" occur earlier (with significant steps up for later registration).
I also liked the suggestion (I think it may have been Buzz's, but don't
recall for sure) to have a 2 tier registration ... With a "surcharge" if you
will that would cover the "fair share" cost of meeting space and other
things for folks who choose not to book hotel rooms in our hotel/block. To
me, that is fair, because those who stay in other hotels are impacting our
costs for other things that are provided (and in EU charged for) by our
meeting hotel.

Carl
