Then you must do what you think right. We are more than fully stretched here, partly because of a series of fiddly admin requests, cancellations, etc etc, partly because we seem to be very short of help this year, and partly because we simply cannot justify the time we've spent on the conf in the past. Sorry I can't do more to help. It seems that we may have as many as 37 speakers who have not registered. Vanessa has made a list today and I have to check it, then you can have a copy. Also there are two talks which have not been accepted as the speakers wanted help with flights, which it looks like we are unable to give (talks 28 and 30). The schedule is now somewhere near the final version, except that I am just working on some software mods to incorporate non-aligned Partners' programme stuff...
