[Argentina] Fwd: Re: SotM and IGN

[Gonzalo Gabriel Pérez]

Hola a todos, reenvío la respuesta de Henk en cuanto al pago y otras
cuestiones.
Hoy pasé a dejar la carta en el ministerio de cultura de la ciudad pero
habían cerrado la mesa de entradas una hora antes. Volveré el lunes.

Saludos.

Hi Gonzalo,

Good to see you're making progress.

Regarding your questions:
- Is there an organisation which has a bank-account in Argentina? In that
case we can make an arrangement that they can be our liason for local
payments.
- We can then also have "local" sponsors (from Latin America) transfer
their sponsorship money to Argentina (instead of via our UK-account). Which
then can be used for payments. When needed we can then transfer additional
funds from our account.
- After the conference we can make a final calculation and have the
left-over budget transfered to us.

- We are pragmatic about these things. However, our treasurer wants to pay
as late as possible :-)


The estimate of how many people may attend is going to be a very hard
guess. Most people will (hopefully) come from Latin America. Argentina is
for a lot of regular SotM-attendees far away. Announcing the event early,
may trigger people to plan there holiday in Argentina.
Just to give you a number: this year we had 300 people, but then there is a
well organized community in Europe. Just making a wild guess: I think about
50 people from outside Latin America will come over. Again a wild guess.

Hope this answers your questions.

Cheers,
Henk
