Re: IETF registration fee?

Hi Kathleen,

think.  The tutorials is an interesting idea.  I think youtube videos may be effective as well without having to schedule meetings for tutorials.

I think the IETF leadership is already looking after this. Have a look at:

http://iaoc.ietf.org/

http://www.ietf.org/edu/process-oriented-tutorials.html#newcomers

http://www.ietf.org/edu/process-oriented-tutorials.html#wgleadership

http://www.ietf.org/edu/process-oriented-tutorials.html#creatingids

http://www.ietf.org/edu/technical-tutorials.html#netconfandyang

http://www.ietf.org/edu/technical-tutorials.html#opsandmanagement

http://www.ietf.org/edu/technical-tutorials.html#routing

http://www.ietf.org/edu/technical-tutorials.html#security

All of these have been recorded at recent IETF meetings, and some of them will be re-recorded at an enhanced quality level in order to improve the quality of experience for the end users.

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks,
Kathleen

Using paid conferences as a profit center is a risky long term

prospect at best. Refusing to adapt the format of the

conferences to protect the profit center worse.

Or adapting the format to attract more paying attendees, such a
what we have sometimes called "tourists", with no real
expectation that they will do work, because it increases the
income.

Still better than building a funding structure based on sale of
publications, however :-(
