having volunteer trainers. If pushed into a decision thats probably a
decision I would favour. There's only a trivial job of finding sufficient
volunteers. At last count there were 4. If we get more that just makes the
decision so much easier.

I prefer to sometimes delay specifically flagging off a clear intent as a
decision until whats termed as the Last Responsible Moment. I was unaware
that the CFP issuance would be that moment and shall seek to get that
clarified later. Thats probably resulting in the ambiguity that you are
feeling - the indecision you referred to. I hope that is clarified.

I also strongly believe that either all should get paid or no one should get
paid - equal policy for all tutorial conductors. I am not sure if volunteers
would mind it if later on it was communicated that they would be getting
paid .. but I could stand surprised on that one.
