The DC organisers havent done a good job of providing useful information or services to other chapters.
When scholarships are announced close to the event, e.g. like WM 2012, the flights are very expensive. Donor money is wasted. When do you expect registration will open?
Also if WMAU chapter is providing scholarships, it would be good to know how much discount Cathy Pacific provide, so we can check the discounted price means they are the cheapest carrier, e.g. compared with Qantas. If we can get cheaper rates, it means we can send more people.

Well, the mechanism will work similarly as DC this year
that when you registered the conference, you will receive a discount code then you can buy from the Cathay Pacific website with discount
that's generally how the thing work
actual procedure may be a little bit difference so we will keep you posted
(as actually I talked about the bid and the offer we got with DC team in Berlin and they pick up and do it)

is there someone who will be looking at/organising bulk flight discounts with carriers who service many countries in this region?
we should try to estimate numbers of attendees from each country.
