It affects expenses. If you are not registered (i.e. if you didn't pay yet) then we have no evidence you're going to come. If you could register for ancillary things without having registered for the meeting, then if you never register we'd need to have tracked those other things and be able to undo them. The way that is handled now is, "Not well," so the existing tooling and processes are not really a consideration. > > PS: I realise my workflow may be a bit of a corner-case, but I'm > starting to regret that the IAOC didn't just bump the meeting fee > and leave it at that - another US$100 or something on the fee could > even work out cheaper for me compared to the time spent dealing more > with my local bureaucrats... and for them having to deal more with me > too of course;-) > If that's the case, why don't you stick with your current workflow using the later rate? It seems to me that you could achieve your goal simply by paying more money, no? Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
