[WSIS CS-Plenary] registration for WSIS, December

[Mark Silbergeld]

My reading of the WSIS website instructions is that while the organizations registering persons must have met the now-past deadline for accreditation, accredited organizations can even register persons at the desk on opening day.  There are instructions there for both pre-registration and on-site registration.

Lisa,

I think the deadline was only for the fellowships.

I do not think that the travel information is necessary to
complete the registration.

I am a focal point and have successfully registered someone
without that information.

It may also be possible to go back and update the information.
I am not sure though.
