Just for the record: in this case the thread we're referring to is the one actually started by you (when you mailed the board list with your questions a while ago). You were kept in c.c. of all the discussions, and as such did not miss anything on that front.

Indeed the issue, as far as I know, is that the Travel Committee is has finite human resources. IMHO the only way to alleviate this is to have additional trusted Foundation members join that team to share the workload. Personally, I'm quite grateful for their existence. I can imagine the processin

Some other good piece of news: today I got a preliminary confirmation for the venue. I'll get the details at the end of the week. I also checked with the Alt Hotel (~5 mins walk from the venue) and participants would be able to book at a reduced rate (140* CAD per room per night instead of 160) si
