Is this based on actual surveys about participants? Such a survey
could be interesting. Of course, many things have to be taken into
account. For instance, many people in the IGF are just spectactors,
paid to attend.

But the biggest difference is that the IETF produces things, good or
bad (the RFC) while the IGF produces nothing. If it tried, it would
explode.

I don't think that all IETF participants qualify themselves as
"libertarian". I certainly don't.
