I told John Willinsky that the Caucus is not able to pay expenses or honoraria, and he has agreed to come under those conditions (i.e., free), though he did ask. You are, though, making me wish I had thought more creatively about funding possibilities, Mike. Does the Caucus have a budget from which we can pay speakers? Who would we ask about this? I'd certainly like to be able to offer John some funding this year, if that is the case.
