I think that their provision of air tickets and rooms is extraordinarily generous. I hope the ICCA can continue in this vein. Even if I had to find my own air fare, it might still be possible for me, but obviously if the ICCA is prepared to provide these facilities to programmers, the cost would be much less than I had thought it would be. I await developments with interest. Best wishes, Roberto
