It is about 40 people in category "Basic, *no* sponsored food or
accom" and *do* request accommodation.
We should:
- Let these people know they are going to need to pay, estimate the
costs, add it to our budget, (optionally move them into professinal if
that's how we want to handle it)
- Let them know they won't have accom and mark them in penta as not
having accom.
At least that's my opinion.

Can be done once the above is decided.

Once the above is done, we can properly do this.
Unless this gets done, we can't properly do the reconfirmation
procedure - as in, peolpe will have reconfirmed, but we still won't be
able to get final numbers for accom/budget purposes.
And yes, I am using "we" as "someone who isn't me", since I don't have
time to deal with this stuff...
