Thanks for raising this concern. FWIW, please note that you can apply for a full waiver of this fee - see text below from the original email: "If the fee presents a barrier to your participation you can apply for a fee waiver for IETF 108 by filling out this https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/108/108-registration-fee-waiver/ before 23:59 UTC on 2020-06-18. Fee waivers are limited to 100 and if the number of requests exceeds the number we can offer, waiver recipients will be chosen at random using a process similar to the one specified in RFC 3797. Fee waivers will be issued around 2020-06-23 in the form of vouchers to use in the registration system and those who do not receive a waiver will be informed on that date. Thanks to Google and Futurewei for sponsoring these fee waivers."

If you initiate but do > > not complete the registration process, [..] It is a bit disappointing to see that the registration fee for an online meeting is higher than the minimum wage [1] in Mauritius.
