I don't know what to call him.  He is involved with the event, but he is not the
organizer.  The organizer is the ICGA.  The ICGA says that he is connected with
the event, but they were vague about his precise involvement.

I wanted to find out if this person was an ICCA officer or programmer
representative.  He is neither.

My quarrel is not with the ICGA, but I am not going to go, because one of the
people working on putting the event together felt compelled to send me this
stuff, and presumably will be present at the event.
