The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider

- 'IETF meeting attendees' Frequently Asked (travel) Questions'
  <draft-george-travel-faq-03.txt> as an Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2012-03-06. Exceptionally, comments may be

In Section 1:

  "more efficiently than waiting until someone sends an email to the
   XXattendees@xxxxxxxx list in the days leading up to the meeting."

The XX is ambiguous.

In Section 2:

  "Therefore, this document is intended to be something that can be
   provided to host event organizers that may not have much familiarity

The following people have contributed to the ietf83 section:

 Kevin P. Fleming
 Stephanie McCammon
 Amy Vezza
 Iljitsch van Beijnum
 Scott Brim

   informative sites may be difficult for non-native speakers to"

Is this about informative sites being difficult for non-native speakers or for people from a specific part of the world? I suggest that the author seeks feedback from people who use English as a second language.

Visa requirements is a one-liner whereas food considerations are discussed in several paragraphs. Section 3.3 is labelled International considerations. The entire document is about international considerations.
