| Asia is big. Some parts of Asia (the middle east and the eastern parts of Russia) are closer to Europe than to China, Japan or Korea, at least as far as traveling goes.
But I think that only adds up to about 15-20 attendees, so it's still in the noise.
I also wonder if the data we have is about countries of citizenship, or where people actually work. A lot of people with Indian or Chinese passports work in Silicon valley and are actually more comfortable with a meeting in north America than in Asia.

Hmm... folding Australia into Asia, Africa into Europe and S America into
N America (for discussion purposes only) that's roughly
1/1/1.7 as a ratio. (Asia/Europe/NA). Or 4/4/7.
It will be interesting to see what the other runs of the data
show.

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,

- 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.
