I may be reading this in the worst possible light, but it appears to me
after reading the answers to the FAQs from IBLCE that it is possible for a
local organization to accept money from a formula manufacturer when they
put
on a conference or a study day, as long as they disclose to those attending
that they got money from the mfr *and* the mfr has not made any
requirements about how the organization uses the money. Whew! Glad that's
sorted, once and for all!

As an educator, I got this a week or so ago, and we were given until
Monday, Sept 12 to comment on it. I don't know why they bothered, as there were
no changes made whatsoever. Not to mention there would have been no time
for them to read any/all of the comments and even consider making changes.
For all the "little" educators out there, that might put on a conference
or program in one room, and you have ONE table of books to sell???? You
will, according to this new ruling, have to rent a separate room in the hotel
in order to sell your one little table of books.
Not a huge deal for a big conference that has an exhibit hall anyway, but a
bit offputting for those of us that are educators and may have a few
things for sale in the back of the room.
Sigh.
