Hi Rich,
This seems fine. One thing my secretary reminded me of, that your
people probably already understand, is that if we pay registration on
line with our credit cards, then we will still need some sort of
receipt, so that we can get reimbursed afterwards. (Maybe this can be
just a web page to print.) I also know from experience that at least
Argonne wants the registration form to say which meals are included in
the registration form. I assume that in our case it will be one
(lunch of the middle day).

The information about the fee for the meetings is buried in one of the
recent e-mail messages I sent out, and I have been asked about this
explicitly. So instead of answering this question N different times,
here
it is:

Fee: $125/person per meeting. Note that we will be charging this fee
also
at the first meeting, even though Microsoft is picking up the tab.
Based on
experience from the past Forum, it was suggested that we have a small
reserve for unexpected costs (some of which have already been
incurred). As
the Forum winds down we will charge less for the meetings to use up what
ever excess exists. ORNL conference management will be handling the
financial aspects of the meetings, and we will be trying to set up a
way to
make credit card payments online. Checks will also be accepted, and
can be
made out to "MPI Forum". Cash will not be accepted - the audit trail is
much more difficult with this.
