I think I would really prefer we send Neal. I don't feel comfortable with someone representing the group who would put us in the position to potentially have to deregister them when we have clear precedent from previous years that the ambiguous deadline does allow people to register later. (It would also be very strange if they did decide to enforce it more strictly this year, as it would also impact quite a few other groups for no good reason.) This on top of your tendency to start things, or say you will do things, and then fail to follow through on them, which was why I changed my mind about being considered myself, just seems like too much too me.
Bear in mind Neal makes a lot of sense as a representative to send regardless - even if it hadn't been awhile since we've sent him, he's been a consistently active fixture in our local community with a long history of organising and assisting with events even before the group was formally created, and has been one of the main people not just encouraging others, but also doing things himself, writing the actual body for our reports, setting things up, following through to the end.

I am ok with someone more deserving going. Let me know when and how to deregister, once they have registered.

Thank you, Abhay, for entering your candidate info, and for registering, in case the deadline was today.
Sorry I wasn't back at my email until just now.
I still don't know what the deadline is. I and others have asked Cornelius, but haven't heard back.
I visited the registration page just now, and it is still functioning, so either the
deadline is tomorrow, or they're accepting late registrations, or they're misleading us....
I'm fine with either Abhay or Isarra representing us. And I still have interest in going
myself, but I can defer to folks who are more engaged....
Perhaps we can wait to hear more about the deadline, and whether anyone else is out-of-the-loop
but interested.
