Hi,

This is a reminder to everyone who registered before we moved from a physical to a virtual conference and has so far not responded to our earlier request.

To encourage responses, we are putting a deadline to June 21 to hear back on what option you'd like to proceed with. If we dont hear back by June 21st we will assume a default option (more below).

Reminder: The virtual conference is CDN $100.

So far we have offered 3 options for moving from physical to virtual:

1) Get reimbursement for the difference between what you paid and $100. 2) Defer the reimbursement and make it part of your registration fee for the next conference. 3) Unregister and get your fee back (minus 7% processing cost).

Based on feedback we have received since the last announcement we are offering a 4th option:

Registration "with support option". In this 4th option we dont reimburse you - rather we issue an invoice which shows line items that look similar to the following example: --- Canceled In-Person Netdev meeting refund (475 CAD) Virtual Netdev 0x14 meeting fee (support-option) 475 CAD Total Due 0 CAD ----

The support-option registration simplifies our accounting and book-keeping work/costs as well as helps us financially. In addition, it is our understanding (based on feedback) that it may simplify some people's lives in large corporations where a reimbursement requires extra time consuming process for the reimbursed attendee.

If we dont receive a response by June 21st we will assume a default of option 2. I.e we will keep the difference for the next conference. Should you wish to cancel at any time before the next conference it will be subject to our standard policies and cancellation fees being applied (appropriate for the time you cancel).

Please send email to: registrar at netdevconf.info stating what option(of the 4 listed above) you'd like to go with and present us a copy of your registration receipt to assist us in processing. It is very important you send us that registration receipt to save us time in processing. If you can't find your registration receipt then still reach out to us but state that explicitly in your email.

Reminder: If you cancel your registration(option #3) after we ship the tshirt/badge/sticker to you, the regular cancellation fee of 50% will apply instead of the 7% processing fee. We plan to start shipping tshirts etc around June 21.

When you submit a request, please be patient with us since the process is a bit manually intensive (and we still have volunteers doing some of the work). To be more efficient we need to collect a batch of requests and process them in one sitting. These batches will be processed once a week for all outstanding requests from the week before. So ping us only if you havent heard back in over a week.

cheers, jamal
