<p>Hi Marc, <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the notice and many thanks for your efforts to put
together FOSS4GNA. <br>
</p>
<p>I don't recall having to register in order to submit a community
vote on presentation topics for a FOSS4G conference before. I
have not been to FOSS4GNA for several years, so I realize the
process may differ from the international event. And I can see
there is some logic to restricting the voting pool to those
actually attending, but many, myself included, won't be able to
register before the program is finalized. I try to make a point
to vote if I am fairly certain I'll be attending, but it looks
like that won't be possible this year.</p>
<p>Thanks for your consideration,</p>
<p>Micah<br>
</p>
