If you know, how often have people been deposed on behalf of the
IETF, and how long does it typically take?

My thought is that in a depo or trial, the other side pays both for the 
expenses and the time of the person being deposed, so it would be good 
idea to say up front here's what it'll cost if you want a live witness.
