Hello,

I am sorry to say this mike, but hiding every problem behind the fear of
9/11 is not wise, and definitely not effective. Security can be achieved
in many ways and denying a piece of paper is not one of those, IMHO.

The issue of Visas for the IETF is serious, and definitely it should be
addressed. There are many people that could help in this as they are involved
with the US authorities - I hope that they will be willing to help for
future meetings.

Personally I support the idea of having more meetings in Canada (or better
would be south-america - e.g., Argentina - during the winter :D) to allow
more people to participate.

Cheers,
