Appendix A Rationale for 3.1 i/ The organisers have the responsibility for the full event. They are not just taking a turn on the duty desk following a rota. Anyone who was doing that would have a smaller rebate as in other years. ii/ The organisers are on duty for at least 8 hours each day. You may see one or two at an activity or presentation during their duty hours but you won't see them at the majority of them. Outside of their eight hours of duty they can participate freely but still there is an understanding that if there is an urgent problem they will respond. iii/ Sometimes organisers need to discuss things without warning. All organisers whether on duty or not are expected to attend the meeting if they can be found. iv/ The £100 they pay is to cover their food.
