It was my understanding, from the AGM, that the work of the Convention Oversight committee will not actually go into effect until the convention of 2009 (?)... Contracts for the next three conventions had been signed before the committee's work was voted on and approved. However, I think that hosting groups will unofficially benefit from the work done by that committee, since the guidelines were developed, not as restraints, but as reflections of the preferences of the membership as well as the accumulated wisdom of what works. Lee Daley has the new guidelines for anyone who would like to review them.

Okay, perhaps I mis-spoke here and made an assumption that teachers were paid by the student. Sorry about that! JoAnne did also buy the supplies for the class from Greet, so I think it was still somewhat of a financial advantage to have a part-time student.

There'd never been any freeloaders in any IOLI (or other) workshops I've ever attended; as many people said, the observers drift in and out (though some were more obnoxious than others, in several instances), but never *stay*, not even on the fringes. JoAnne's being able to attend half of the class - on payment for half of the class - is unusual as well as beneficial to her (better half a loaf.. etc g) And it was a serendipity that Greet did have room in her class, and agreed to add someone who was only able to work at half speed... I doubt JoAnne's part-timing has changed the dynamics of the class much; from my own observation of Greet's class (Harrisburg, PA, July 22-24); there were some who got it very quickly, and then there were some (like myself g) who, after 3 days of full tuition, still knew less than half :) But the following: it was to Greet's advantage to have another student, even if it was for just half. has me puzzled...

If so, then Greet might, indeed, have half-profited :) But, from all I've ever heard, teachers are paid *per hour*; that's one of the reasons the class size tends to be fixed at 9-15 participants... Any fewer, and the organisers lose (unless they can persuade the participants to shell out more per person). Any more, and the teacher is likely to have to spend too much on psychiatric treatment afterwards, to make the whole thing worth while...

[lace] RE: JoAnne's sitting in on Lier class
Hi All! I was one of JoAnne's roomies at the IOLI convention. In case she doesn't get back to her email right away, I thought I would try to clear up her comment about sitting in on Lier Lace Class. We were lucky to have Greet Rome-Verbeylen and her Michigan lacer traveling comanions stop by our city (Cedar Rapids, IA) for a visit the Friday before the convention. JoAnne was immediately impressed with the Lier lace technique and expressed her dismay that she was already signed up for a morning class and therefore would be unable to take Greet's all day class. After we got to the convention Greet said it would be okay for her to come for the afternoons. JoAnne paid the fee for an afternoon class. There were plenty of seats left so it was to Greet's advantage to have another student, even if it was for just half. JoAnne also bought all the class supplies from Greet. I hope this helps clarify her comment. In other news, we were indeed sad to hear the news that Doris Southard's husband, Talmage, passed away last Wednesday. Doris is our guild mentor and a wonderful lady. If you would like her address please send me an email. I also promise to post a convention update soon! It was great to meet so many of yoiu!
