AB, I don't agree! If we entertain discussions lead by remote participants has nothing to with the meeting fee, it has only to do with if the draft being discuss is of interest to be in the f2f meeting. /Loa On 2014-10-18 08:53, Abdussalam Baryun wrote:
If this is accepted then the IETF should consider accepting remote participants' ID to be discussed in meeting when authors request a slot while they are not able to attend. Providing a slot for remote work is good to connecting the meeting with new authors that are remote participants. Therefore the increase in registration fees will not affect international new work discussed in ietf meetings.
