It's not a matter of being dragged into politics.  (Or at least, it shouldn't be.)

It's essentially an engineering task of working to maximize the ability of 
people to attend IETF meetings, by looking for venues where visa processing is 
the least problematic.

That does not mean "no visas" or anything else simplistic, except that border 
controls do not impose undue and unpredictable barriers.
