<p>Hi Team</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We are working as local organizing committee to push for more registration and we will be meeting next week Tuesday to iron most of the urgent issues at hand.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In terms of registration in general like i indicated earlier, paying using VISA/Mastercard is not common in Tanzania as Mobile Money option is widely used hence the importance of emphasizing onsite registration.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>PS: At the bottom of the eventbrite page for registration, this option of onsite registration is not that visible and its easier for someone not to figure it our as the font is to tiny.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Meanwhile, we will get back to the OC on the issue of tzNOG students participation who we believe should be given either free pass or find a way to fund their participation.</p>

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="MsoNormal"><span><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>
