I don't understand why this discussion keeps going on and on, much

perhaps the difficulty is that you do not suffer from the problems being
discussed. that is fine for you, but it does not make the problems small or
secondary.
when an issue is raised repeatedly, by many different people, it almost
always has some degree of inherent legitimacy. that makes it worth attending
to.
some tactical problems have strategic impact. in this case, decisions which
well might serve to make the ietf less inclusive ought to be taken seriously.
it used to be relatively easy and inexpensive to attend ietf meetings. this
no longer holds. that excludes keeps potentially useful participants.
It also used to be easy and inexpensive to host one...
contrast say ietf 20 with ietf63.
