<p>Dear LNC:</p>
<p>Robert Kraus will be managing the on-site convention registration
process again, as he has for the past several conventions. <br>
</p>
<p>We are expecting much higher turnout than in recent years, so
getting people processed in a timely manner is going to be a
challenge. An example of what can make things particularly
challenging is how some people have purchased multiple
registration packages without providing all of the names those
packages are for (yes we're constantly working to remedy that). <br>
</p>
<p>I have encouraged Robert to secure as many workers, volunteers,
printers, and whatever else he might need, to boost our
registration process capacity so that things go well. <br>
</p>
Bob Johnston and Nick Dunbar are Robert's chief assistants. <br>
<br>
I have encouraged Robert to open the registration desk extra early,
and to keep it open extra late, beyond what our published schedules
show.<br>
<br>
Long lines make for irritated customers, especially if it's a
morning of a business session and people are eager to vote on
something important.<br>
<br>
If at any time you notice a long, slow-moving line at registration
(something that looks like it requires more than a 15 minute wait),
please consider helping out if you meet certain qualifications.<br>
<br>
The kind of volunteer that would be especially helpful is one that
is calm, mild-mannered, patient yet efficient, pays careful
attention to detail, is willing to withhold unnecessary advice and
commentary till later, and is willing to put in 2 hours of
assistance (so we get a reasonable return on the time spent training
for the tasks). <br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience, help, and consideration.<br>
<br>
If registration goes reasonably well, be sure to thank Robert Kraus
for a job well done.<br>
