My personal opinion on this: the requirement is that the meeting facilities (rooms, terminals, food, reception, etc) are accessible to the people who have registered and paid for them, and not accessible to people who have not registered. That requirement has been around forever. The implementation of this requirement is best left to the local organizers, they know the location, local habits, costs to enforce this, etc. As far as I can see, the requirement has been implemented here, so I'm happy. Henk ps. And this evening a newbie told me that he found it very handy that everybody was wearing a badge, as it allowed him to get the names of everybody he spoke to. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henk Uijterwaal Email: henk.uijterwaal(at)ripe.net RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.xs4all.nl/~henku P.O.Box 10096 Singel 258 Phone: +31.20.5354414 1001 EB Amsterdam 1016 AB Amsterdam Fax: +31.20.5354445 The Netherlands The Netherlands Mobile: +31.6.55861746 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I confirm today what I denied yesterday.
