Just my opinion, but I think we need to allow for unrestricted changes of the date of the daily pass, up until the date it is actually used. Any advanced selection of a day should be for planning purposes only (such as catering). If you pick up a pass for Tuesday on Sunday, even as late as Tuesday AM you should be able to change it to Wednesday if you need to. Likewise, if you picked Monday and you don't show up until Friday, your pass should still be
good.

I see no reason not to do this, and I suspect many newcomers (who I expect to make up a good proportion of the daily pass users) will be confused by the process and may not figure out where they need to go until the last minute. We should be friendly towards them and not try and make them feel ill-used.

Along those lines, I strongly think that any day pass payments should be fully applicable to a full registration, if people decide they want to stay for the whole meeting. We want to encourage that.
