RE: Room reservation flight ticket and accomodation funding

[Milena Lavanchy]

Dear Madam/Sir,

I would be grateful if you could please clarify me the following issues:

*1. Hotel room*
Since all hotel rooms are sold out for the 12th and the 13th of October, I
would to know if it is always possible to share the room with Jaminy


*2. Acommodation for the side events between October 9 - 12; and 13 - 19*
I received a funding approval from Chris Lamb stating that the
accomodation  cost are included in the funding. Can please confirm if I
will be reimbursed for these accomodation costs?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Milena
