I exchanged a few emails with some students from Europe about a
decade ago. They encountered an attendance problem because of
funding. The funding offer could be advantageous to both the IETF
and the few students/participants receiving funding. Sending funding
offers is usually frowned upon as that is not the purpose of this
mailing list. However, the interaction on the topic is more
important than figuring out whether the message fits within the
charter. It would be useful to write down something if there was a
recurring problem.

Jay is entitled to his personal opinions --and I have found they

appropriate on ietf@xxxxxxxx, we are, again IMO, halfway down
the slippery slops toward the LLC regulating and interfering in
the standards process.
Yes.
