But if the local host wants something that we aren't willing to acquiesce to, we have the right to not accept them as host , that is, to hold our meeting elsewhere and not take their sponsorship money. Personally, I don't see it as an injustice if the host insists on us enforcing a rule that we have always had but only sporadically enforced. OTOH, my impression is that the IETF is not blessed with an excessive number of potential hosts, so our leverage to dictate to hosts is limited.
