Thanks, Jay
Hope you asked those lost sponsors under which type of enhancements to
a virtual meeting they would consider to sponsor again.
Given how you where not specific in your answer, i can only speculate
which type of sponsoring was affected.
Commercial poster/product-demo sponsored sessions for example shouldn't
be too difficult to replicate virtually and showing up in the agenda
Virtual bits&bites with separate webex channel per demo for example..
- Time Chown et.al. posted some interesting video clips
of creating virtual spaces in which to show posters etc.. Looked
rough, but exactly the direction thats needed. Foremost for
non-marketing purpose, but why not use it for that too.
Cheers
Toerless

Some do not translate to an on online meeting as they are specific to a part of the meeting that is not replicated, while others are at a lower level to recognise the different nature of the meeting.

And whether that fee is covering purely those, or a share of the year on year administrative costs for the IETF.
