Hi Paul, The early registration deadline was set 2-weeks earlier than normal to encourage people to get their reservations in early because of the overlap with IETF, but I continue to believe this is non-productive and onerous for many of our members. We can easily extend the deadline by 1 or 2 weeks to avoid some serious push-back from our members. We have done this before and I believe we could do it again for this time to give folks some more leeway. Going early makes sense for nNA sessions where we need the extra time, but not for NA sessions.
Thanx, Buzz

Subject: Re: [802SEC] March Plenary Registration
You have a reasonable request. I am not sure what it will take to delay the early registration deadline close, but I think an extension of one week should be sufficient.
I would like to get Jon's input on this request as well.

Rick – Thanks!
Paul – I am still making this request. While I have forwarded the information – I can not ensure that others will not have the problem.
http://802world.org/plenary/ will get you to the plenary page.
I am sitting in the close of my Task Force, and we just brought up that registration for March is due. However, when I go to the webpage (clicking on registration on this page - http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/index.htmland it directs you to http://802world.org/wireless/) – I can not get to registration for the March Plenary. Instead I am forwarded to the May 12-17, 2013 Waikoloa, HI meeting.
I believe the deadline should be extended, as there is clearly a webpage issue, and I do not know if I will be able to get this issue resolved and register as I will be traveling home tomorrow. I believe given the 802.3 interim meeting this week – many others will be in a similar situation.
