... or the consideration of "Should I volunteer to be a chair in order to save me money?", which in turn is not the best way to cultivate a list of volunteers. --- Mike Ounsworth -----Original Message----- From: 117attendees <117attendees-bounces@xxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Carsten Bormann Sent: Friday, July 28, 2023 9:36 AM To: Marie-Jose Montpetit <marie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Richardson <mcr+ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; Salz, Rich <rsalz=40akamai.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; 117attendees@xxxxxxxx; ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: [EXTERNAL] [117attendees] Perks for chairs (Re: Making meeting attendance more affordable) WARNING: This email originated outside of Entrust.

We spend countless hours on IETF/IRTF issues. At first blush, I'd think so, too (of course :-) But seriously, I wouldn’t want the deliberation of “who would make the best chairs” to be overlaid by the thought “who needs that support most to be able to participate”. Oh, and WG/RG document authors need free registration too (of course :-). (“Whose document should we adopt so the authors can continue to participate.”) Maybe only the first author. (“Do we need to split this WG/RG document so another one of the authors can be first on the other one and continue to participate.”) You see where I think this leads...
