The US term is "Incidental and Consequential Damages".   I don't 
remember if the registration includes any language about "IETF not 
responsible for...." or "attendee waives liability for...".  It's 
probably a good thing to add - after 35+ years of not needing it.   And 
doesn't apply to any of the attendees for Madrid until the IETF starts 
accepting registration fees from them.
