NYC is an expensive town. Our (daily) fees were already higher than average. Now, due to some unexpected additional costs and a lower than predicted turnout (based on registration) we are having to raise our daily meeting fee from $80 to $100 per day. This increase will be reflected on your receipt. My apologies for the last minute increase. Even with this, the PWG is absorbing a sizable loss on the October 2003 meeting. I think we should keep these costs in mind when picking location for our 2004 agenda. On the up side, Ami was able to get us a very good room rate for NYC so we do have some savings, there. ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ----------------------------------------------
