That's not "more precise"; that's just a different meaning of "registered." I confess that I have never understood the IETF meaning of "registered", in which one could be in this half-state of registered for the meeting but not paid. I've never been to any other paid-attendance thing where there was any way to be publicly registered without paying first. But it is true, as I think we have said all along in this discussion, that we are changing the meaning of "registered" to mean "paid registration". The plan does not anticipate any other meaning of "registration". > Correct, and I fully understand that.

I guess I don't understand the complaint. To the same extent that the IETF has a hard time predicting whether people will really show up without knowing whether they've paid, anyone else would not know whether the prospective attendee was really coming. And presumably the entire list of IETF attendees wouldn't be going to the side event, so the list is too broad anyway. Finally, the list is collected for the purposes of registration for the IETF meeting and not some other event, so actually using the data for some other purpose might be in contravention of EU laws (alas, I am not a lawyer, so I can't say for certain). It seems such a side event would be better off maintaining an independent list of prospective attendees. > won't get attendance mainly settled until the last 2 weeks.

Maybe we (and it's not _IASA_, but the IETF, of course) will see that and maybe we will not. It is hard to know without trying it. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
