I'm a lot more concerned about openness in IETF protocol development.
some kinds of negotiations really do need to be done in secret.
IMHO, having protocol engineers who know next to nothing about
meeting logistics try to dictate such terms is a broken concept.
Amen to that.
This is a balancing act. How much a host/sponsor is willing to contribute
depends on many factors, and I don't believe there is any single
formula that will cover all cases. So I think each case will be a special
case for a long time to come, and BTW we do have people paid to
work on this for us now.

Each venue's costs and each Host/Sponsor's ability and willingness to
make an additional contribution to a meeting's cost is different.
The meeting room costs for Vancouver, Dallas and Montreal were/are zero.
The meeting room costs for Paris were well north of 150.000 euros which
if that had not been picked up by sponsors could have resulted in a
registration fee increase of about $150 per person. Fortunately, we
have had such Hosts and Sponsors. It may not always be the case.
