If we are going to design this by committee, a useful alternative of addition would be to make the link text for the main "Register" link under "General" read "Register (On-site and remote)" and then be sure the registration form layout was remote participant friendly. The problem with removing the "Register" link under "Remote Participation" is that those of us who have participated remotely many times are fairly unlikely to click on an "Info" link unless we think something is different. To demonstration this, if the "Register" link under "General" were replaced with "Info", how often do you think you would click on it, at least before you got frustrated looking in all the other obvious and non-obvious places. Another way to deal with the problem would be to move the "Remote Participation" category up so it immediately followed "General" and maybe create a new title in that column for "On Site Participation" and make "Additional Events", "Social Event", "Venue and...", and "On the Ground..." subsidiary to it. It actually took me a while to find the remote participation registration link because the location of that category at the lower right, under the rather specialized "New Attendees" and "Session Chair Tools" categories was counterintuitive. john (remotely)
