Could you give us a specific dollar limit for a reasonable price?This is going to vary a lot from one person to another, but offhand I'd say that $1000/meeting for hotel and entry fee combined (not including travel) is a good goal for meetings in North America.The early bird fee is $700. $300 for a week's hotel?
Why is $700 reasonable either? How have we let IETF become so
exclusionary? Is that really consistent with IETF's mission?
Even if we tried to go the cheap route and find a college campus that would host us for free, when I look for places near our local campus they're a lot more than $75/night.
I don't know where you're from. But I know many places where
decent, safe, clean rooms can be had for around $75/night.
Granted, they're less likely to be in large cities, but sometimes
they're within reasonable commuting distance of city centers.
