We're OK with paying the registration fees provided that they are

There are countries such as Madagascar who are trying to organize
their own

hubs but their Cost of living is lower than us. What is reasonable to

to them.
Could there be a remote registration fee calculated per country ?
The still-nascent idea of IETF hubs has not gotten enough attention
here. A remote participant who is at a physical hub during IETF week,
even if only intermittently for a few WG meetings, is probably on
average more valuable than someone who is headsetted in their office or
living room. It would be great to encourage hubs more. For example, if
the IETF is to charge (even a little) for remote participation, it could
maybe charge less for people who are attending in hubs.
