It looks like a very attractive program, congratulations to all
involved! I'll definitely try to come - it also seems the ISO/TEI FS
meeting might be adjoined.

The only comment I have is that the announcement distinguishes only
members and non-members; what about "individual subscribers"? Do they
pay attendance? Can they participate (not in voting of course) on
Saturday?  If there is a consistent policy (e.g. subscriber = member -
voting) then the text could just remain the same. Is there?

I will be away till 20th, so that sounds fine to me.

I have to ask: why BOF? And what are these SIGs?

Best,
