Re: IETF Attendance by continent

[Donald Eastlake <d3e3e3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming the very simple model that attendance consists of a fixed number of constant attendees from each continent plus a "continentally local" variable number that only show up when the IETF meets on their continent and using the very limited data provided, using a rough least squares fit I get the following:

Constant Attendees

Africa	6
Asia	236
Europe	254
N.America	409
Australia	14
S.America	8

Continentally Local Attendees

Asia	333
Europe	173
N.America	232

Thanks,

Donald

During my IAOC chair plenary talk at IETF78 (slides are in the proceedings) I asked a question about continuing the current meeting policy (3 in North America, 2 in Europe, 1 in Asia in two year period (3-2-1) ) or changing to a 1-1-1 policy based on current meeting attendance.  The talk included a graph of attendance by continent for IETF72-IETF78.  I was asked to provide this data to the community.

It is attached.  It includes the raw data and a new graph that shows attendance by percentage.  It appears to me that a 1-1-1 meeting policy is justified by current overall IETF meeting attendance.

Your comments are appreciated.
