Thanks for the detailled reply - and process you have in place now, Jay/LLC
As mentioned in the hallway, i would suggest to IETF/LLC to figure out a
useful summarized way to make concerns about a mtgvenue/countries
past experience
public with intent purpose to provide helpful summaries for those on the
policy side in the countries that could help to provide improvements.
Something like an IETF weg page with other useeful summary about past IETF
in-person meetings, and then include maybe some green...yellow..red
evaluation of ease of attendance wrt. to actually experiend
immigration policies.
I used to complain about visa issues. There were a few regular
participants, usually from North America and Europe, and one or two
participants from other parts of the world who were quite
supportive. Nowadays, I don't say much about visa issues as I don't
see anyone interested in that topic. I might be wrong, e.g. the
discussion might be happening in other venues.
I found out a few days ago that there were six participants who were
listed on a sanctions list. Having one participants listed might be
a bit too much. It would be very awkward to have to explain
attendance in a technical meeting in which there were several
participants on a sanction list.
