If you compare flight prices, you should also check the hotel prices. I assume that SF hotels will be more expensive than Minneapolis so the overall stay will be more expensive. Roni -----Original Message----- From: 73attendees-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:73attendees-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Blaine Cook Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 3:45 PM To: 73attendees@ietf.org Subject: Re: [73attendees] Attendance by country I'd assume that a bigger factor than visas in this case (just guessing here) is cost --- $700 is an awful lot of money for people who (1) may not be employed by corporations with big expense budgets, (2) already paying upwards of $1000 to fly to the US, and (3) live in a country where the exchange rate and average salary make paying for things in USD very difficult. The ability for the IETF to comp registration fees is unmentioned during the registration process. As I'm new to the IETF and its processes and goals, I'm not going to presume anything, but the centre of this discussion seems to be trying to allow as many interested attendees as possible to attend, and therefore might be relevant. Unpaid registration in this case indicates a desire to attend, but an inability (not necessarily due to visa issues). The only way to find out why people didn't attend is to ask them. San Francisco is vastly cheaper to fly to than Minneapolis for people outside the US; some useful data might emerge from that. If it turns out that cost is the major factor, then Canadian venues make little sense, since it's often more expensive to fly to Canada than anywhere in the US. b.
