decorum should dictate we go back to the sponsors and inform them about our
intent to add to the sponsorship tiers. In the meanwhile I suggest the
following :

a. Decide on the new additional sponsorship tiers we want to introduce and
the corresponding fees / benefits (I am perfectly fine with the associate
sponsors with the benefit being a logo on the website). Let us decide if we
want to consider any other slots (just thinking out of my hat here as a
hypothetical suggestion - but say a Lunch sponsorships for each days).
Whatever it is lets freeze that (due to point b. below)
b. Communicate back with the committed sponsors of our intent to expand the
sponsorship tiers, and review if there are any comments / objections. While
unllkely to be an issue, I do think it would be appropriate to go through
this step.
c. Lets keep up the pressure to first finish the existing slots, before
announcing an opening of new slots post completion of step b.
