well, it's gotta be the IAOC's fault then. Tell you what, you can cut my IAOC salary in half as a penalty.
Otherwise, we would just have to decide that maybe we get good deals from hotels under renovation, and decide how badly cutting the cost of attendance is to us. The IAOC is looking at the coming budget, and about to discuss it with the ISOC Board. We plan to take a serious look at how to reduce it during the coming year, such as looking at IP-based telephone or conferencing services for ourselves, the IESG, and the IAB (not a huge budget chunk, but not zero either), and asking what else can be cut. That is in part what Ray has been doing in getting hotel contracts two years out, and in making a deal with the Hilton company about repeat business at Hiltons. But maybe we're willing to pay extra for "no construction".
