Well, it would have been nice in Publications had used the correct version of the program schedule, and it would have been nice if Facilities had looked at the contract clauses that were put in to allow changes in a time frame that would have been convenient for all concerned, but there's not much we can do about the past except for learn from it.

People are reimbursed for their direct convention-related expenses, not for their time and effort. I don't agree with the travel reimbursement policy. I consider it an ethical violation for people to covertly build travel expenses into their budgets and then claim they have a right to travel expenses if they come in under budget. However, you have certainly not instigated or abused this policy.

A rather deep irony is that Canadians would not normally have a reason to keep personal travel receipts, as there is no tax status similar to 501(c)3 that would allow one to deduct travel expenses. But I suppose I agree with Larry; might as well reimburse people who followed the same practices as those who have already been reimbursed, and even better to make sure it goes to people who will certainly recycle it for the benefit of other fan organizations.
