Hi Bruce, I'm sorry if you misunderstood the proposal but if you will look at the attached motion which was voted, it clearly does indicate "a surcharge of $300" will be applied for those not staying on the 802-contracted hotel. If you would prefer to explain it as a "discount for those staying in the 802-contracted hotel" that's OK with me but that's a much larger set of people. Our goal of course is to minimize the number subject to the surcharge, and the evidence from the Wireless Interim meetings and the 802.3 Interims is that it works very well. I would be very happy to sit down and explain the proposal to any who have concerns during the March Plenary if you think that would help. But I don't think changing the wording of the proposal will make any difference because the result will be the same either way. I know it sounds harsh and unfair at first blush but upon explanation it actually makes a lot of sense, and several people have indicated that it actually solved the problem they were having with their company trying to switch them to other hotels by making it no longer economically beneficial. You can call me if you want to discuss it further at my numbers below.

Adrian noted that your message reads: A $300 US surcharge will be added to the registration fee for those attendees not booking and staying in the 802- contracted hotel(s); Caribe Royale and Buena Vista Suites. Proof of hotel stay will be required to prevent having to pay the surcharge, when you pick-up your badge. This is not what we agreed. This is not a surcharge, but a discount that applies to those using the meeting hotel. You have placed me in a position where I need to investigate and protest the surcharge fee. Please note that I will enter this as a topic for the EC meeting in March.
