Hi Henk, I don't agree. If there is people "essential" to the meeting but can't pay, as we all pay for that, we have the right to know. This is an open organization right ? I will be VERY concerned if we don't have this information being made public immediately. It sounds really really strange to me. Is it documented in any RFC ? Moreover, if I'm in between jobs, or need a new job, or whatever, I think is good for me that others know, in case I can get some new offers.
