Please supply one with no > further delay. maybe it's my limited knowledge of the english language, but I thought I had made it clear: We will cover the travel expenses of those speakers that don't have another source of funding (like e.g. their employer). The reason why I have asked that speakers tap other funding sources first is that we have limited funds of course. So if you don't have another sponsor then let me know and we WILL cover the travel costs. BTW, there seems to be a mail problem here; the last mail from Theo that I've seen was from June 1st.
