Hi Cintra,<div><br></div><div>INET New York was $50, or $25 for members/students. As space was limited there were practically no comps beyond speakers, ISOC-NY Board, and ISOC staff.</div><div><br></div><div>j</div><div><br>

Agree with you Eduardo, <div><br></div><div>I attended INET in New York last year and there was a minimal fee of US $10 attached which I did not mind paying because it went toward chapter development. </div><div><br></div>
<div>But I do think that such fees (big or small) are a limiting factor to attendance and should be made optional.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br></div><div>Cintra Sooknanan</div><div>ISOC Trinidad and Tobago Chapter<div>

Marcin, in 2001 ISOC was an almost bankrupt organization. Today it has millions of dollars, which it can't spend, and has increased the staff tens of times, compared to 2001. Let's not compare expenses, but income.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

ISOC could and should do much better, ESPECIALLY for its members. With a<br>
budget in the tens of millions of USD, it just doesn't make sense to charge<br>
for participation. Tell me that the participation fee is not because the<br>
management of the conference is being done outside of ISOC?<br>

When we met last time in Stockholm in 2001 the price was $499 for ISOC members,<br>
which makes it 580 of today's Swiss Francs! So you get two gala dinners<br>
included now for that price! It's a bargain! :)<br>

I sneaked in for free as a volunteer and this was my first contact with<br>
a global Internet community.<br>
