Just to quickly chime in -
The management of registered attendees is really up to the host; as
Elizabeth states, this becomes a logistics issue, and based on my
experience hosting the conference, there are a number of factors that the
host needs to take into consideration in regards to cancelled
registrations. At this stage in the game, I find it perfectly reasonable
to not make any changes in the registrations. In the event that someone
cancelled, I would still think that the host would then determine the
process for filling the open slot (if possible) - hence the waiting list.
