Simplifying sounds like a good idea, although we still need to offer
discounts to SDG members.

You could have student, academic, others; a discount (50%?) for SDG
members; and a penalty for late registration (which should be up to you,
because the purpose of this penalty is to cover the additional cost to
you of not knowing until late how many people there will be).

It would be nice, when you make your announcement, to show people where
they can go to become a member if they want to. I'm not sure we have
such a web page yet...

That's great! (All SDG board members get travel costs paid?)
