Dear all, Perhaps we could refrain from making a political statement, but do make a statement of facts (similar approach to RFC7258): 'The current US government ban from people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States is hampering the IETF from effectively doing its work and holding its meetings (both inside and outside the US because of the severe travel resistrictions). This is true for both American and non-American engineers participating in Internet standard development.' Hope this helps.
