I think a co-pay would be be reasonable. If I human manually did a refund I'm sure the process could ne 'fixed'. It would be interesting to know how many people, based on paste events this would impact. I agree in that I as well suspect its a very low number. -jim On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 12:55 PM, Jared Mauch <jared@puck.nether.net> wrote:
Two comments here:
In the past a human would review and refund speakers if they paid.
A nominal co-pay may be appropriate, even if it's just $10. Students qualify for lower rates last I recall as well. We are talking about a small number of people here, at most 1-2 per conference I suspect based on historical chats.

If a members company is willing to pay anyway, then people always have the option of not accepting the free entrance. As for people 'hardship' cases, how ever you want to define it, there is no revenue loss here as they would be unlikely so spend $ to attend anyway if they had to pay.
