What harm could come from publicly posting conference expenditures
on the organizing committee, steering committee, and the IEEE staff?
Following up on Tony's comment (which I agree with) that the
proliferation of conferences has had a choking effect on research
discourse ... Jeannette Wing also notes in her blog
(thanks to Lixia for the pointer):
> We have successfully trained deans and provosts that, in computer

This is indeed true, and it would be great if we, as a community,
de-emphasize the conferences in tenure evaluations and such. Need
to get away from the notion that worthwhile conferences must be very
selective. Why not have fewer, more inclusive, conferences,
with LESS stringent review process, and defer to journals for
more thorough reviewing ?
