as i said, if nanog has the funds, i would support
I think a co-pay would be be reasonable.If I human manually did a
refund I'm sure the process could ne 'fixed'. It would be interesting
to know how many people, based on paste events this would impact. I
agree in that I as well suspect its a very low number.

Two comments here:
In the past a human would review and refund speakers if they paid.
A nominal co-pay may be appropriate, even if it's just $10. Students qualify
for lower rates last I recall as well. We are talking about a small number of
people here, at most 1-2 per conference I suspect bas
I have no problem with speakers getting in free. Speakers may or may
not be active in the community and if you want to continue to draw
quality speakers this is truly the least the community can do. Many
conferences will pick up travel costs, or even token 'gifts' for
speakers. As for committee
I agree that only those organizing or with a real need of financial
support (folks from developing countries or from non-profit orgs or
some students without substantial resources) could have their
admission fee waived or reduced, all the rest MUST pay, even if you
give a talk or serve in other cap
The SC did not receive comp registration any time while I was serving on it.
It was possible to be comped for one of a few reasons:
1) Host
2) Speaker
3) Merit
4) B&G Sponsor (i think they got 2 comp registrations)
5) the ARIN scholarship thing.
I was on the SC and also on a panel in Dallas (th

btw, i do not remember a meeting where being comped as an SC member or a

For context in this discussion, how many times have you personally accepted
free registration in return for presenting?

i am ambivalent. i think there i
I support conference admission for volunteers who give their time to organize
the conference, etc. (such as program committee members, steering committee
members, speakers, etc.).
I would not support other forms of remuneration or expanding the free conference
admission beyond those directly invol
I have had my registration fee refunded when I was a speaker when my employer
was happy to pay. This frustrated me when the meeting had low registration and
lost money.
I'm fine with people getting it waived, but the idea of everyone showing up for
a "roll-call" so they can get in free is cert
Randy,
How is that "getting paid"? Receiving services in kind?
Don't know if you've ever done Habitat for Humanity, but you get a free
lunch, paid for by those who have given cash to support the cause and not
labor.
