Pranesh,

Please be careful about over-generalizing.  Certainly many,
almost certainly most, IETF participants are supported for their
attendance, while they are attending, and for participation by
the companies or clients for whom they work.   But some of us
are not and are participating as individuals by any plausible
way you can figure out to classify "individual".
