Funny reading that under the light of the IETF worried about increasing participation and diversity. There are places in the world where $100 is all the disposable income an engineer *might* have. For months. And, before the IETF would commit to take steps in that direction, it would be interesting to see some numbers about how much money needs to be invested in deploying and operating remote participation tools that would actually make people feel they are getting value back for a $100 remote attendance fee. I can already imagine the complain threads in the [XXattendees-remote] list. Oh, the humanity! ~Carlos
