I think the intent there was to restrict livestreaming and nothing else as the combination of live streaming + open jabber rooms would effectively allow participation without registration. Once I’ve reviewed I will get that corrected.
Is this so ? I understand that IETF LLC wants to make money ... after all Hollywood makes money for film makers too.
So if I do not pay I can not participate (meaning present or even ask questions live), but why I can not even watch it live as passive user ?
I must wait some time after it ends to passively watch and start asking questions on the mailing list ? Is there some other reason for such rules other then squeeze more cash ?
Sorry but this all simply is not what IETF used to be.. This is becoming like a commercial institution with clear business objectives where standards and IETF are becoming just elements to fill the bank accounts.
