I believe the submission system is supposed to send out weekly email reminders to those speakers who haven't signed their agreements. If these emails are going out, there should be a record in the submission system. I checked emails for my sub sys account, and saw one there that went out on Sept. 16. Therefore I don't think these are being recorded only in the rolled-up emails, but should be visible in the sub sys. (NOTE: I don't know how to view the contents of the rolled-up emails, or I would check that myself.) I did a random check of speakers who haven't yet signed, and I didn't see any record that emails have been sent to them. If this is not working, it's not a big deal for ESE 2010. We can remind them manually. But for ECon 2011, there are a lot more speakers so we need this to be working, ideally by Dec. 15, 2010.
Is this related to bug 248811 any how?
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this related to bug 248811 any how? Bug 248811 seems to be suggesting that we should have a button in the sub sys whereby people with certain privileges can cause an email to be sent that will remind the speakers on a submission to sign their SA. I opened this bug, however, because I wasn't sure that the auto-reminders being sent by the sub sys were working correctly. If the auto-reminders are working correctly, then I personally don't see any need for a button to remind manually. Withholding speaker discounts seems to be work to encourage speakers to sign.
> Withholding speaker discounts seems to be work to encourage speakers to sign. Maybe I'm a meanie, but I much prefer this method. No nags, no email. There's a carrot. Agree?
