On the DLV thread, but not responding to anybody in particular. As soon as you allow people to attend 1 talk for free, then you opened the door for people attending without paying. OTOH, I don't think that it is fair to ask people to pay the whole $350 if they only want to attend a few talks. For the RIPE meeting, this has been solved by introducing day tickets. People who don't want to attend the whole meeting, can buy tickets for individual days. They can attend the sessions they want, without feeling guilty about using resources but also without having to pay the full fee to attend only a few talks. Maybe this can be considered for NANOG as well Henk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henk Uijterwaal Email: henk.uijterwaal(at)ripe.net RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.amsterdamned.org/~henk P.O.Box 10096 Singel 258 Phone: +31.20.5354414 1001 EB Amsterdam 1016 AB Amsterdam Fax: +31.20.5354445 The Netherlands The Netherlands Mobile: +31.6.55861746 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1160438400.

APRICOT has something quite similar - register for whichever tutorials / tracks you want and pay for just those (though of course it works out cheaper to pay for the entire mtg, beyond a certain point) Something like this - http://www.apricot2006.net/index.php/fuseaction/home.registration --srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
Moving to nanog-futures. Or trying, anyway. On Mon, Jun 12, 2006 at 04:45:30PM +0200, Henk Uijterwaal wrote:
