It certainly seems cheaper than paying lawyers. But how does the IAOC evaluate that feedback? If someone makes claims about laws in that country, seems like IAOC would be in the same boat as it is now regarding Singapore. I don't think feedback from recent attendees should be presumed to be an accurate representation of the situation in a country, particularly when the members of that list might not adequately represent marginalized groups.
