Hi Pars,
I'm quite confused ... the problem is a question of pace of review or
a question of conference cost? Because taking into account only the
cost related to the subscription of a conference is too simplistic.
You miss the impact of conferences for local researchers that have
difficulties to travel and the overall obvious impact on the economy
for some countries.
Regards
Emmanuel
