IMS 2006 Report

Workshop Speaker Fee Background

• Problems reported by Workshop organizers
  regarding imposition of registration fees on
  presenters
• Is there a reason to treat any speakers
  preferentially, as a matter of general practice?
• Session speakers must go through the peer review
  process while workshop and some tutorial do not
• Session material is archival while
  workshop/tutorial is not normally considered
  archival
• Workshop speakers are invited and get significant
  recognition but not for deliverable material
• Waiving fees in general can set a precedent for
  waiving other fees
• Financial impact of waiving all workshop
  presenter fees in 2005 would be from 50 to 70K

9
Straw Vote

• Speakers at workshops shall be charged normal
  registration fees for attending the workshop in
  which they are presenting. There shall be a
  provision to waive the fee for extenuating
  circumstances at the discretion of the IMS
  Chairman.
