Re: [77attendees] Single Company Meetings (Re: Ad hoc meetings in real meeting rooms)

I didn't see a bill for it, but I wasn't the requester, either - anyway, my 
understanding is that Huawei paid for a meeting room on Sunday night as 
well.

I'm remembering various companies doing this as far back as the late 1990s 
(and I wasn't around before that, but wouldn't be surprised if the practice 
started earlier). Is there a reason the IETF should have a policy about such 
things? ("what problem are we solving?")

Thanks,

Spencer

At this IETF I know that Ericsson and at least one more company paid for
a meeting room on Sunday.
