Chris's 2002 list:
history of hotel comps (in prioritized order, because we never have enough
comps to cover the entire list).

* suite (or extra nice room) for sigcomm award winner
* suite for sigcomm chair (suite is for several business mtgs - but if
        conference is in hotel, then we can also meet in reserved hotel space)
* frequently a pc chair (or other committee members), but only if really,
        really need it, and needs approval by Gen chairs
* Other people who are travelling on SIGCOMM business:
        student award winner, ACM staff?, conference coordinator

--------------------------------------------
Craig's 2002 list:
Comps first.  The general idea is to use comps first to reduce conference
expense, then SIG expense.  So...

    * SIGCOMM Award winner
    * student paper award winner(s)
    * tutorial instructors [if we're picking up their travel...]
    * PC co-chairs [if we're picking up their travel]
    * PC general chairs [if they're staying at the hotel]
    * ACM staff [except this year, I believe we don't have any ACM
        staff at the conference]
    * SIGCOMM conference coordinator [if we're picking up her travel]
    * SIGCOMM chair

Suites (in priority order)

    * SIGCOMM Award winner
    * SIGCOMM chair
    * PC co-chairs
--------------------------------------------

Prioritized list from 2001 (we didn't get all that many comp-ed rooms in 2001).

The following people, in this order, get comp rooms:

    SIGCOMM award winner
    SIGCOMM Program Director
    Conference General Chair (if not local)
    Conference Program Chairs (if they are not local)
    Tutorial instructors [saves us $$]
    SIGCOMM Conference Coordinator
    SIGCOMM Chair
    Conference Tutorial chair

Regardless of whether they get a comp room, we do our best to get a nice
room (with view, concierge floor, whatever -- note we can usually arrange
this the week before with the hotel) for:

    SIGCOMM Program Director
    Conference General Chair (if not local)
    Conference Program Chairs (if they are not local)
    SIGCOMM Conference Coordinator
    Conference Tutorial chair

We try to put the following people into suites (in this order):

    SIGCOMM Award winner
    SIGCOMM Chair [i.e. via complimentary upgrade for paying room if room
                  is not comped]

This year my understanding is that we have one comp suite, so that goes
to the SIGCOMM Award winner.
