Is there additional cost to this? Is that expense currently borne by IETF meeting registration fees? (Personally, I think it would be fine if it were. I think interaction between IETF and IRTF participants is a good thing and benefits the IETF.) If the IETF is not currently paying for these meetings, does the change you refer to above imply that it would in the future? --aaron _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
