It certainly makes sense to reword it for a pattern of difficulty or
exclusion.
On any of these criteria, since this is the IETF, it might make sense
to subject them to rough consensus criteria. I.e a country that is
being considered for a future meeting could be vetted on the IETF list.
Sorry. As usual, I hit 'send' too quickly and thereby entirely missed
the real point I meant to make:
Getting the IETF community involved in rounds of debate about acceptable
national policies is certain be be unproductive and likely to be
destructive. We already have countries upset with us for making
decisions based on solid engineering preferences. What is likely to be
the result of our pretending to be able to make decision on politically
acceptable national behavior?
On the other hand, the nice thing about pursuing a rough consensus
community decision is that it does not matter what basis each of us
uses. We do not need debate. We simply need voices saying yay or nay.
