Legality of High Fees to Attend General Conference

Last year, the General Conference Commission set unusually high fees for observers attending General Conference as a way to raise enough money to cover expenses of General Conference.  Minnesota Annual Conference challenged those high fees.  Even though their request for a ruling came late, the Council responded by saying their request was moot because the commission found alternative funding and dropped the high fees.
