But it is not nearly so bad in the middle of a semester as it is at the beginning. It is even conceivable that I might be able to shake loose some money -- if I were either giving a presentation or would (for example) lead a panel discussion on this topic. I believe that I would find it easier to be a moderator or discussion "leader" than actually to present about a thing like this. Namely, I can see the issues but not always the solutions. Probably, it is not good to apply to my university for money if I merely were going to attend; mere intent to attend would probably not get me funding for a mathematics conference, either. I also would need enough lead time to be able to get things through the bureaucratic system. There is some kind of very unreasonable deadline now in effect in the university about how soon one needs to apply for foreign travel. So if you think my presence would have some value, I need something to get the application started, over here. Invitation, or something similar. If it is too much trouble or would interfere with already-existing plans, then never mind. I would hardly be upset if I don't go to something which I was not expecting to go to in the first place.
