We discussed this in the IESG some time ago. There are a couple of 
reasons why IETF would sublet rooms. First, we sometimes control the 
entire meeting space, at least in the facility that holds the IETF 
meeting. Second, its a revenue opportunity (maybe not big, though). 
Finally, from a corporate perspective its easier for some of us to 
contact the IETF and ask for a room than it is to find out who is in 
charge in the hotel and book from them. And its definitely more 
convenient to get meeting space from the IETF hotel than from some other 
place.

(And picking up from the other thread... I do hope that note well does 
*not* apply ;-)
