Hi,

I have sent an e-mail to H3378-RE@sofitel.com according to instructions from accommodation booking form but there is no response already 3-4 days. Is there anyone with similar problem or anyone who knows how to fix ?

Dear Alex and Alexandr, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have contacted Sofitel and asked them to speed up their turnaround time. If the problem persists, please let me know at <meeting@ripe.net>.

Hi, I've got the confirmation, it still works for me to reserve with debit card and BIG +1 for more secure credit card processing. Regards. /Alex Saroyan On 02/10/2014 05:49 AM, Nikitin A.E. wrote:

what interests me is that folk are expected and willing to send credit card info in email.

Expected, sometimes. Willing, never. Cheers, Sander

[Sending from my old e-mail address, since I just realised that the RIPE list still uses it. I must fix that ...] jon@fido.net:

Apart from anything else it breaches several levels of PCI

If their card processor found out, they’d probably have their payment facilities withdrawn immediately :(

Well ... hmm. Who's at fault? The hotel asking for it, or the person actually sending it acros the net, or, again, the hotel for expecting the customer to send it ... :-/ Then again, the number of sites that actually use opportunistic encryption over SMTP is increasing, so at least _that_ is heading the right way. OTOH, going back to fax is not to head the right way, and the RIPE meetings are the _only_ Internet conferences I know of where handwritten forms and modem signals over circuit switched networks is still the expected way of registering at hotels ... :-/ Cheers, /Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. !
