Regrettably, at this point, your only seeming agenda is to continue to provoke and confuse.
1. Please quote the post where I 'expect' anything as a speaker.
2. Please quote the post where I define travel-related per diem/cost defrayment/comped rooms as 'compensation'.
I was crystal clear, despite your attempt at obsfucation, that speakers accepting (NOT expecting) reimbursement in cash or consideration for travel-related expenses (NOT taxable compensation) is a NORM that non-profits may choose to offer and is not considered a commercial transaction.
It is that simple.
