In addition, the remaining costs of the booth, which in my experience total
around twice as much as the floor space itself need to be paid by this
corporate contributor.

I would not find it acceptable for SPI to pay these costs. I do not feel
donors would want their money spent on a corporate show in Las Vegas.

Also no plan has been provided about who will actually be present on the
booth.
