I think the ratio of meeting revenue that funds the IETF operations has gone down significantly in the past years. The 2020 budget can be found at: https://ietf.org/blog/ietf-administration-llc-2020-budget/ By my reading, for 2020 meeting revenue $3,818,999 meeting expenses $4,110,242 A loss of $291K. This is, of course, pre COVAD 19. It would be good to know what this would look like for all remote for 2020. I suspect it is a work in progress, but at I would like to know what it is in regard to what would be a reasonable registration fee. Bob
