Many speakers (~20) did not register for Flock when submitting their
proposals. They didn't want to register because they weren't going to come
unless their proposal was accepted.
Problem is, we then don't have their funding request info. If decisions
about who is going to be funded are made regardless of whether or not they
proposed a talk or not - if someone is essential, we should consider their
funding, but if they dont register we dont know how much funding they are
asking for.
We should probably separate registration ("Yes, I'm coming") from funding
request ("I'd like to come, can you help fund me?")
Another issue is that there were folks that didn't want to register until
they knew they were accepted because they didn't want to lose the
registration fee. Even though I think we explain we'd refund it. Maybe we
should have some mechanism where you're only asked to pay it once your
funding request is accepted.

Hi,
I'm in that configuration, I have no means to come without funding.
Paying registration fees without knowing if I could come in the first
place is a bit stretched.
