RE: IEEE 802 Meeting Attendance
Gee Geoff, That's really strange, 'cause Steve Carlson went ahead and made the request as we
asked and got what he felt were meaningful results (see attached). I guess it just goes to prove,
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained !!!" Maybe he forgot to worry about filters and random noise.
But I'm sure you and Pat, based on prior experience, must know better than we do. :-)

Buzz, Dawn, Darcel:
My informal poll shows over 55 attendees for 802.3af. This is comparable to
what we have seen in the past. There may be a few more, but all of the usual
suspects have all checked in.
I hope this helps you. I understand what you guys are trying to do here.

Subject: RE: IEEE 802 Meeting Attendance
Colleagues, Since everybody seems to want to try and 2nd guess us on this, I will make
one more statement to all regarding the risks we may be running on this (see comments
to Jim & Roger below!), and try to dispel a few bad assumptions that I have seen go by:
I think the results WILL be meaningful if the message is communicated effectively that we
REALLY need to know as accurately as possible how many will be actually attending so
that we can provide adequate meeting spaces, hotel rooms, and food & beverage services.
You will, of course, need to indicate that they will be the ones who will suffer if they don't
respond in a timely fashion. I would expect that the non-responders will be at least partially
offset by the late cancellers so that we should come pretty close if all they have to do is
send a reply (put yourself in the TO: or CC: field and the list in the BCC: field).
* Pre-Registration data is not useful for this purpose since most folks
don't do it until the last minute and many never bother at all.
* Cancellations never come through until the very last minute so they are of
no help either.
* If we are holding rooms for attendees who do not materialize, there are
stiff penalties!
* If we don't hold rooms, there won't be any available. Your choice !!!
This is TOO BIG a risk to just take a chance and hope for the best. We need to know;
and we need to know NOW !!! If we are unwilling to make a diligent effort here, then we
are surely responsible for the consequences of that lack of due diligence.

I've got a good group. They responded very quickly.
See you in Hilton Head. Did you know that from March 14 to March 19,
Savannah has a St. Patrick's Day celebration that attracts 200,000 people to
the town? I didn't...
