But registration is only complete upon payment. The reason we need this is not just perversity. Part of the goal, as I mentioned in another message yesterday, is predictability. In the case of a registration that is not yet paid, we have little in the way of signal as to whether the person will show up. Paid registrations are a stronger indication of who is actually coming to the meeting. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
