Jay,

 

First of all: thank you for the open discussion.

To be honest, reading the above text is rather puzzling [1] to say the least. As written by Adrian, I am even shocked that an EU-based meeting in Dublin must be vetted by the Government of the USA for an international organization such as the IETF/IRTF. Curious to see how it will apply to the IETF-125 meeting...

 

I understand that:

  1. The IETF LLC is incorporated in the USA
  2. Most banks/credit cards will refuse payments from some countries
  3. None of the IETF participants should probably appear on this sanction list

 

Having written this, I am unsure how to address this ‘annoying’ [1] process.

 

Regards
