There is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding SELEM this year. The schools are closed, so we can't get any answers regarding the gym or the cafeteria, and the ban on public gatherings means that the auditorium staff is also unavailable to answer questions. Despite that fact, I'm willing to take things on faith (assuming that the travel ban and lockdowns are lifted in time) and deal with the possibility that we might not have all the spaces we planned for. I'm confident we can adapt to just about anything.
The greater concern is the possibility that the lockdown might *not* be lifted in time for SELEM (or more likely, the lockdown is lifted too early and then is reinstated just before SELEM starts). And while I want SELEM to happen as much as anyone, I must balance my enthusiasm against the risk of someone falling ill as a result of attending the event.
For now I do not want to start accepting registration fees. I don't want to collect a bunch of money only to have to refund it. Instead I'm posting this poll to get an idea as to how many people might be able to attend this year.
Assuming that SELEM does happen this year, when I open up the registration there will be just one price instead of the tiered registration fees we normally have. That may hurt us on the budget, but I'm prepared to deal with that. (We may not be able to afford to buy as many door prizes as a result.)
