First, if you look at historical demographics, over the past 12 IETFs,
we have 23% Asia, 26% Europe, and 42% NA). Put another way, the last
time we had > 1/3 Asian attendance was IETF 94 in Yokohama, and the
last time we had less than 1/3 NA attendance was IETF 79 in Beijing.
So, a policy that was designed to match per-continent attendance would
be more like 2-1-1-*.
FWIW looking at the public data [1] for IETF 72-101 the attendee
distribution is as follows:
Meetings in Asia -- 6686 Total attendees over 6 meetings:
Attendees from
36% North America
21% Europe
41% Asia
2% Other
Meetings in North America -- 13878 Total attendees over 12 meetings:
Attendees from
57% North America
22% Europe
19% Asia
2% Other
Meetings in Europe -- 14236 Total attendees over 11 meetings:
Attendees from
39% North America
39% Europe
20% Asia
2% Other
For All Meetings -- 35843 Total attendees over 29 meetings: (basically
the same as ekr's numbers)
Attendees from
45% North America
29% Europe
23% Asia
2% Other
