	If you begin the registration process and do not complete it, you
	will be sent an email with information on how to pay for your
	registration. Please note that you will receive this email two or
	more hours after you begin the process as it is not immediately
	sent. If you do not pay your registration before the cutoff dates
	listed above your registration will be deleted and you will be
	required to re-enter your data.

	If you register and find that you can no longer attend the meeting,
	you can request a refund. Cutoff for registration refunds is UTC
	23:59 2019-03-18 (Monday). Refunds are subject to a 10% (ten
	percent) processing fee. The 10% penalty is waived in the event that
	cancellation is due to your inability to obtain a visa to attend the
	meeting. 

2. Value Added Tax (VAT)

	You may be entitled to recoup some or all of the VAT.
	In addition to a receipt from the IETF, all IETF 104
	attendees will receive a VAT compliant invoice from BC&A
	(VMC), our tax agent. For this meeting the Czech VAT of
	21% has been added to the Registration Fee. More
	information is available at:

3. Visas & Letters of Invitation:
