[] Yes, its a wide page. A very wide page. A very very very very very very wide page. But not very tall, at all.

I am putting this here until I get the final OK to go “public” with it.

That’s fine by me, but you realize there’s really nothing stopping you from creating your own private group called Rene or something? If you plan to have many drafts hanging around, it would be a good idea. By default any new groups you create will only be viewable internally.

So…how do you create a group? Guess I’ll ask for a demo when we see each other at the meeting…Rene

You can also purchase a membership through our lay-away plan. Pay the supporting price, then pay an amount on a monthly basis so that you’ve paid the Attending price before June 30th, 2009. The benefit is that when you pay the supporting price you lock in the total you’ll have to pay before the deadline. So even though the Attending price will go up over time, your lay-away total will not.

Distinction between Press Passes and Press Credentials

A Press Pass is a complimentary admission to the convention that includes the right to attend the convention (possibly for a limited time) with an endorsement to the person’s badge indicating that the person is a member of the press covering the convention. A Press Pass does not include any WSFS membership rights. Anyone who qualifies for a Press Pass automatically gets Press Credentials.

Press Credentials are a badge endorsement which indicates that the person is a member of the press covering the convention. It is possible to have Press Credentials without a Press Pass. We expect that some Attending members will qualify for Press Credentials.

Anticipation reserves the right to deny Press Passes and Press Credentials to individuals or media organizations as it sees fit.

Distinction between Working Press and SF/F Industry Press and Fandom

Working Press includes those people employed by recognized media outlets such as television and radio stations, newspapers, and other forms of news coverage, who are on assignment from those outlets and who would not otherwise be attending the convention if their jobs did not require it. Working Press may include reporters and editors for non-fannish news web sites, but they do not include technical staff or others who are not journalists. Working Press are entitled to appropriate complimentary press passes and credentials.

SF/F Industry Press and fannish news sources such as fanzines and web sites are not Working Press for the purposes of this policy and are expected to purchase a membership; they may also qualify for press credentials.

Anticipation believes that issuing press passes to people who are attending in their personal capacity is unacceptable. Worldcon belongs to all of fandom and all members of our community — fans, pros, staff, and program participants (save only our guests of honour) — pay for their memberships. Someone who is a member of the convention staff or who has accepted an invitation to be a program participant is presumed to be attending the convention primarily in their personal capacity, not as a member of the Working Press.
