Dear All,
...just a reminder to those of you who will soon be claiming
expenses
for GGF5. As was originally set out (see below), GridPP is only able to
pay for registration fees up to the "Early Bird" level. Please note, GridPP
is NOT
covering costs of those who have stayed on for HPDC-11. Other budgets must
be used to supplement registration fees or for HPDC.
Many thanks, Robin.

Subject: IMPORTANT : Global Grid Forum - Early-Bird registration closes th
is Friday (17th May) & Guidelines
Dear UKHEPGRID,
This note is in part a reminder for those intending to go to GGF5
to register NOW and in part to set out some guidelines.
Early-bird registration for GGF5 CLOSES this Friday - 17th May.
In order to ensure optimum use of the travel budget, GridPP will only
support
early-bird registration costs. Top-up funding from other sources will have
to be found for registration after this date. So please register before the
end
of this week !!
Those who went to GGF4 in Toronto last February should be able to
take advantage of their GGF membership (you should have been notified
recently of your 2002 membership ID). However, for others it is probably not
cost
effective to become a member now, unless the savings are in excess of
the membership fee ($100). Tutorial costs are usually in addition to the
basic
registration fee (as, I believe, are the hotel charges). You are also
encouraged
to explore accommodation options in order to keep costs to a minimum.
Since the normal per-diem is unlikely to cover costs please claim
on the basis of actual costs incurred, backed up by receipts.
GridPP will NOT be able to cover the cost of the HPDC conference
which follows immediately after GGF5. If you wish to stay for this then you
should seek other funding sources.
Regards,
Robin.
