PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

[rozk]

Tom Hunter has restricted attendance at the Arthur C. Clarke Awards to those who have already RSVPed. I forgot and have been relegated to a waiting list; as a former judge who only found this out because I had the temerity to ask for a plus one, I am a bit vexed at this.

I'm not sure I will go even if I get a place now.

I would emphasize again that no-one I have talked to has been aware of this being rigorously enforced on any previous occasion - even though clearly it has eg gummitch. If you have been excluding people who forget to RSVP, then we all needed to know this, long ago.

I would suggest that threatening sub-clauses are preferable to people who have every professional reason to put the ACCA into their personal calendars every year suddenly finding out that they aren't going because they forgot to RSVP. As most of us do from time to time without consequences.

Also, I am glad to know that you have considered and/or encountered the scenarios I mentioned on twitter. What I want to know is, how did you resolve them and were all the people involved in that resolution happy with them?
