Remember, the IETF is NOT special. There are tens of thousands of conferences, and they are all pretty much need-to-be-treated equal. If the US gave effectively carte blanch to conference attendees, you would have no immigration controls, period, as this would be a big enough loophole to fly an A380 through. The Visa issue in the US is serious, but how many people are really affected by this? We need hard data, because the notion of simply "not holding IETF meetings in a terrorist country" is not effective. And if you want to do Visa issues as a criteria, you can strongly argue that all IETF meeting SHOULD be in a country where a visa is not required for travel for EU, US, Japanese, and Canadian citizens. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
