Thank you for looking into it. Since the deadline of 31 December (for 
the very early birds) is getting very close, I'd like to get some 
clarification on how to go through the registration process:

1) When I select the full package, do I or do I not select the workshop 
for EUR 175 in the second step? (I want to follow a workshop)
2) If I do select the workshop, will the rate stay at EUR 360 or will be 
be 360 + 175? Or only 175 (for the total) as shown below?

Instead of it being confusing, I think there might be something wrong 
with the workflow of the registration (or with me of course ;-)).

Can you please either confirm that something is wrong and fix the 
problem (and possibly extend the deadline) or explain what steps to take 
for somebody that wants the full package, including a workshop (me)?

Thanks, Roald
