And regardless, I think one should not have to register to any specific Web site to just submit a proposal (that may not get accepted). I can just send it by email for LocWorld. Why would you need to register for doing the same thing for the XLIFF days? I dislike having mandatory registrations foisted on me: Most of the time you cannot de-register and the third-party doesn't respect its privacy policy. Not everyone is like me obviously, but I suspect I'm not alone with such feelings. But more simply: It just makes thing a lot more complicated for the possible speakers. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, -yves
