This seems like entirely appropriate practice on short notice. I would note
that the LLC regularly makes decisions which involve a far larger change to
people's costs than the fees -- namely, where to site the meeting --
without consultation, so I while I think it would be good for the LLC to
get feedback on this topic, I don't think there's inherently an obligation
to put it to a community wide call for consensus.

Moreover, as Jason points out, the IETF has charged attendance fees for
some time, so one could view this as a decision to *reduce* fees, in light
of the virtual status.
