  Not allot of information provided at this slow loading link Richard.
For instance is there another ITU "Fee" associated with attending
this workshop meeting?  I also noticed that the registration form
requires that those planing on attending give out personal information
to include where said attendees will be staying as to hotel if attending
this workshop meeting.  In a post 9/11 world, some companies,
such as my own for instance, do not allow for such information
to be provided for obvious security/personal safety reasons.
