I'm a lot more concerned about openness in IETF protocol development.
some kinds of negotiations really do need to be done in secret.
IMHO, having protocol engineers who know next to nothing about meeting
logistics try to dictate such terms is a broken concept.
Amen to that.
This is a balancing act. How much a host/sponsor is willing to contribute
depends on many factors, and I don't believe there is any single
formula that will cover all cases. So I think each case will be a special
case for a long time to come, and BTW we do have people paid to
work on this for us now.
