The analysis that would interest me, if it were possible, would be the
trend for participants from China, suitably adjusted for the location of
the meeting. I suspect that, just as it is
forecast that the world's largest economy will be, in due course, China,
so some time later, the majority of participants at the IETF will be
from
China! As an occasional attendee, I notice each time how many more
people appear to be from that country; the London plenary quoted a
figure of 9%, as I recall, a figure much greater than for any other
continental European country.
I see the centre of gravity of the IETF shifting.

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
