Thinking of the remote participant fee. As someone whose travel
restrictions prevent attending in certain parts of the world:

* I have no problem paying a fee but I am not the decision maker
* Paying a fee is better for my CFO
* Not paying a fee is even better for my CFO unless we get something for it


One thing I really would like more of as a remote attendee is video of the
sessions. That is something worth paying for and it is something that we
should have adequate technology base for. If video streaming sessions
really is more than plugging in a camera... we is still doin it wrong.

So kicking in $100 a session for video is a no-brainer. Can make this an
advance payment thing. The video is only guaranteed if at least one person
drops the $100 though and the list of 'sponsors' of the video is only
published after the ability to sign up closes.

If someone wants to add video after the fact they pay a full conference fee
per session.
