Just people who go to the Berlin IETF? - does it include remote participants via Jabber or other tools - does it include people who participate only on WG mailing lists? The only bias I see is that it takes a lot of employer backing and funding to participate in the IESG. It is therefore the companies that sponsor these participants have the most influence of all over the selection process. Hold another IETF in San Jose or San Francisco and I bet we get way more balanced data than a site that requires a lot of travel, especially since we have day passes now. > Eliot Andy
