[Air-l] registration form -agency

[Monica.Murero at MERIT.unimaas.nl]

Dear Frank, 

As you know, the registration form is handled by an external company,Cal
conference agency. They might have been pretty inappropriate using
"gender", I know. They have database and procedures limits, but they
will update their system soon. 
However, their intentions are good in that they simply would like to
communicate with registrant in an appropriate manner, especially in case
of unfamiliar names for Dutch culture, like "ya yon chi".  
Registrants are free to choose the gender they want, especially here in
the Netherlands  :) but I have already made sure that in the
registration form nobody is "forced" to chose. 

cheers!
