I had, indeed, completely forgotten that meeting and the associated policies. Not a good reason to tolerate/ encourage another very restrictive cancellation policy however. I do continue to accept Jay's assertion that this it the best that can be done, especially if we were locked into the hotel due to deferring the earlier schedule. I hope it is not a prediction of contracts and policies in the future. If it does, it would seem to reinforce the position of those who believe we should not be trying to do three full meetings as year. thanks, john --On Sunday, August 28, 2022 16:52 -0500 Adam Roach <adam@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Oh, man, you're completely forgetting Paris.
