Re: [802SEC] +++ 10-day EC Email Ballot +++ Definition of hotel stay
I vote "Disapprove".
The meaning of the motion is clear. The surcharge applies to attendees "not booking and staying in the 802-contracted hotel... Proof of hotel stay will be required to prevent the surcharge." Someone booking and staying for one night and providing "proof of hotel stay" meets the conditions.
The minutes demonstrate that the entire EC understood this meaning:
"Gilb asked for a clarification, does this mean that all the attendee needs to do is to avoid the fee is to book one night in the hotel.
Rigsbee confirmed that this is the case."
