Hi Carsten,

I see that this was designed to allow converting onsite to remote at the early-bird tariff even after Feb 7. Good, so for those on the brink a decision isn’t forced on Feb 7 already.
Given that the hotel link only comes with onsite registration, I’m distilling the following procedure:
* Register for onsite now * Wait for the hotel link in the registration confirmation * Read the cancellation conditions, which don’t seem to be available otherwise
The hotel cancellation terms are published at https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/113/hotel/. Only the IETF-specific reservation URL is sent after you register.
Best, Alexa Case 1: Unfavorable onsite hotel cancellation conditions
* Convert the onsite registration to remote by mailing support@ * expect differential refund * all set for remote.
Case 2: Favorable onsite hotel cancellation conditions
* Book the onsite hotel * Wait until mid-March or so
Case 2a: Travel still seems possible
* all set for onsite (maybe book flight or train if not done yet).
Case 2b: Travel conditions unfavorable, need to revert to onsite
* Cancel hotel * Convert the onsite registration to remote by mailing support@ * expect differential refund * all set for remote.
Any flaws (unnecessary steps, wrong steps, cancellation fees, increased registration costs) in my reasoning?
Grüße, Carsten
