Since you mention Dave Crocker, I guess I must be the mysterious third person. B-) I didn't notice any other familiar names, but methinks there were probably many people with "any connection to the IETF whatsoever". After all, you probably didn't get to check out everybody's nametag, nor have you probably memorized the names of all IETF-related people. If you mean "officer, or otherwise entitled to speak on behalf, of the IETF or some WG", "author of any drafts or RFCs", "have attended an IETF meeting", or some such, well, that's a different story entirely. Likewise if you mean panels rather than audience. RS> No one from the Internet Society was there BTW.
