Predicting how many people are going to show up far in advance (say
a year) is a different kind of finacial risk, than the current

hotels) the meetings are going to be in in a year means having
potentially costly contracts in place that you may or may not be in
a postion to fund (consider the attendee flucuations over the time
frame 2000-2002 for example).
Other organizations with periodic meetings seem to have successfully
addressed this issue. I'm no wizard when it comes to these
contractual things, but I'm sure the IAD is talking to people with
this expertise.
