one of my ex-students (who is a student) reached out to me about this and asked if i could help her with this. $50 is more than she could afford. i told her to register and that i’d pay for her “at the door”. so, i think that the money payment is definitely
keeping folks away, but, i’d really prefer not to remove that, since it does help keep our numbers manageable (this from a “free” afpif last week, where we had 700 registrants *confirm* attendance, and then 413 arrive)

We have always had room for free participants. In the past, the delivery mode was OC members got 10 complimentary codes and would issue those to their network to rego for free. Do we feel this is something that would help? If so, we can get those codes quickly
issued and we can all distribute them to those we feel should come but can't afford to.<br>
<br>
More than likely, it will be local folk, as anyone spending money to fly into DAR can afford US$50.<br>

i think worthy questions are: <br>
# is $50 too high for the local (non-student) attendees? noah, or someone else from the area?

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""><br>
Valid question. If we feel it's too high, I'm certain we can consider lowering it, or having a lower fee for students.<br>

I think we need to do more of this. By my count, I expect the majority of participants will come from Tanzania.<br>
