All,    (01)

Note that concerning keeping the fees low, the EC understands that our budget 
will allow us to assume a bit more risk, in order to attract more participants.    (02)

So, mostly the responses from the Education Committee chairs to the questions 
Stefano posed are (though there are some differences of opinion on question 2):    (03)

1) grants: in order to make a decision we need a deadline. 
Is a week before the end of the early registration period (that is, 8 April) 
reasonable as deadline for grant application?    (04)

YES.    (05)

2) should someone be allowed to apply for a grant only after s/he becomes IAOA 
member?    (06)

YES.    (07)

3) the Executive Council suggests to keep the fee low even if this means to 
take some risk. 
Should we stick with the 150 (student) and 250 (regular) proposal?    (08)

YES.    (09)

Hi,    (012)

I think so.    (014)

    SB> 2) should someone be allowed to apply for a grant only after
    SB> s/he becomes IAOA member?    (015)

I do not think this is a good idea. Somebody who applies for
support will likely not want (or be able) to spend an extra fee to
become an IAOA member.    (016)

I agree with keeping fees rather low, but cannot judge whether the
fees above will cover all expenses.    (018)
