      I have received some calls about free vouchers, e.t.c. I'm
      guessing for those, the sponsors would have been in touch asking
      for the vouchers.<br>
      <br>
      Noah said he and the LOC are having a meeting today to discuss on
      getting the numbers up.<br>
      <br>
      On my end, the agenda development is going well. First draft of
      the program will be up this afternoon. I'll advise.<br>

                <p>Hi Team</p>

                </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

                                            More than likely, it will be
                                            local folk, as anyone
                                            spending money to fly into
                                            DAR can afford US$50.<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
