another factual observation. badges were required for afterhours access in maastricht. and in several other venues vienna paris etc. different ietf venues have had various security needs which the meeting planners, the host, the facility, or some union of those have found necessary. We have had security guards watching terminal rooms for a rather long time and experienced varying levels of property loss in varying locations. the 25 imacs in the ietf 55 terminal room had a security guard watching them (and checking badges) the entire week. > (I'm offering a factual point, but not commenting on the issues being > raised, other than to find myself thinking that these are interesting > issues that warrant clarity and maybe clarification.) > d/ > > (*) In some arenas, long-term failure to enforce a rule negates the rule. > _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
