I meant https://github.com/quicwg (I can also access the google quic
one, but this is most the relvant for the IETF)

We are doing an increasing amount of IETF work in GitHub, and attendees need access to it to do other work as well. If we can negotiate an arrangement that will exempt the IETF network from the block, that would (IMO) be a minimally acceptable solution. Of course, attendees staying offsite would still need to use a VPN or something to access GitHub from their hotel, AirBNB, etc. and that's still a bad situation.
