Gary, I am organizing the Historical Track for the AES Convention. None of
my presenters will be asked to pay the fee since they are panelists and
presenters as outlined above. I do not believe there is any deception in
play as you suggest, since the overwhelming majority of those involved will
be designated as presenters/panelists for their workshops or panels.

Best,
