Now consider someone who successfully obtains a visa (or does not need one), makes air and hotel reservations, and arrives at the airport intending to fly to the meeting. Then, because of policy shifts, they are either denied boarding or arrive in the destination country and are denied admission and sent home or, worse, locked up somewhere for 14 days.
... Does the IETF refund the registration fee? Current policy is, I think, ambiguous,
Just in case anyone is confused by this, the recently announced policy is for a full refund in the case of *any* government imposed travel restrictions that prevent someone attending the meeting, which may include, but are not limited to, denial of exit, denial of entry, diversion, repatriation, isolation and quarantine.
