I do not consider participation in the IETF, not attendance
at IETF meetings, a human right, no.

I might just about accept the right to education implies a
right to the potential to be a person who could participate
in the IETF, but better just to treat education as a right
I think.

After that I don't care if we do or don't call participating
in the IETF a privilege or a PITA, as it's a mixture of both:-)

Cheers,
