One model that IUPAP discussed was to charge speakers at remote 
conferences a nominal registration fee (50 EU has been suggested) to 
cover expenses (IT support and proceedings) while participants would be 
able to register for free.  I'd like to hear from the IAC what they 
thing of such a model.  It does cost something to run a virtual 
conference and speaking is a positive activity that people should be 
willing to pay a small fee for.

I am in favor of proceedings, despite being very lax with them in the 
past myself.  Often, for computing projects, the CHEP proceedings are 
the only written description aside from highly technical documentation.
