For the Board, the only member not signed up is Jaroslav. (And 
$futureappointee's attendance status is unknown, of course.)

 From FESCo: Matthew Garrett, Matthias Clasen, and Marcela Mašláňová are 
not signed up.

 From FAmSCo: Rahul Sundaram, Pierros Papadeas, and Caius Chance are not 
signed up. Gerard Braad is signed up, but is in line for any additional 
subsidies we may be able to provide, so it's not guaranteed he'll be 
attending at this point.
