<p>+1 Lets first look for panelist from attendees. I'm confident we
will have plenty to choose from. (We have good candidates within
the our conference committee).<br>

<div>We don’t offer one day, or one session registrations (with
the exception of workshops). We’re expecting general community
members to turn up, we should expect that people we shine the
spotlight on (as panelists, chairs, speakers, plenaries,
keynotes) to turn up as well. Otherwise it’s a crappy message.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are we afraid that we won’t fill a program? Are we worried
that there is not enough expertise in the community that
*does* turn up?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Good point. I agree this is 'for the community,
by the community' and we should aim in that direction.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But recall that we did have an email discussion about
non-attending speakers (<a
href="http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Conference-Presenters-and-their-Attendance-td5369372.html"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">email thread: <i>Conference
Presenters and their Attendance, </i>27 June</a>),
where this was suggested as a way to mitigate concerns
around speakers not getting a discount:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<i
style="font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">“We
are aiming for an engaging and participatory
conference, with minimal distinction between
presenters and attendees. While we really appreciate
all our presenters and would love to provide them with
a free ticket, we have opted instead to try and keep
registration prices low and are asking presenters to
purchase a registration. If that is not possible for a
presenter, they may attend free of charge for the
session they are presenting in, and the break
immediately afterwards.”</i>
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I very much agree that the ideal is to have speakers
attend, and for attendees to speak. But for those that
can't/won't, we've made this accommodation. I'm
supposing that this will apply to a very small number of
people, in any case.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the question at hand is - do we apply this
principle to a panel chair? Or do we aim for a higher
standard for this level of participation?</div>
