Just a clarification: some affected folks may not appear on such data as
is, since the IETF registration form asks for "country of residence" and
has only one field as "country of citizenship"; most people with dual
citizenship would have entered the country of citizenship that they thought
would have made it easier to get visa based on (since it's noted in the
IETF invitation letter for visa application) or even be exempted from visa.
The second nationality would have only appeared on the visa application
form used at the embassy and not in the IETF data.
