Those traveling thousands of miles already confront many uncertainties.
Those that elect to participate remotely should be afforded greater
certainty of being able to participate when problems occur at local venues
or with transportation. Increasing participation without the expense of the
brick and mortar and travel should offer long term benefits and increased
fairness.
How much would you be willing to pay for remote participation
(assuming it was of high quality)?
$600 for the week (cookies and taxes not included)?
