Re: [Ietf108planning] Registration details for IETF 108

[Dan Romascanu <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the quick answer.

I would go for a self-declaration. The world is small enough and people who
get some funding (retired but free lancers for example) would not make a
false declaration to save 180 USD that they can easily deduct from their
sponsor.

Regards,

Dan
