I exchanged a few emails with some students from Europe about a 
decade ago.  They encountered an attendance problem because of 
funding.  The funding offer could be advantageous to both the IETF 
and the few students/participants receiving funding.  Sending funding 
offers is usually frowned upon as that is not the purpose of this 
mailing list.  However, the interaction on the topic is more 
important than figuring out whether the message fits within the 
charter.  It would be useful to write down something if there was a 
recurring problem.
