I think we should expect a working environment that enables us to do our business withour too much hassle. For instance, toughness of visa criteria and/or length of process, excluded contributors are factors. I wouldn't consider just the need to apply for a visa as a show stopper, however. The difficult part is that there's always some issues, so we need to decide how much trouble we can live with. My take is that the rotation of locations solves much of the problem. Maybe we could even more of that than we do now. Other than that, we need to monitor the number of folks who can not come due to length of process or refusal to grant visas. Other erquirements: Ability to VPN/SSH back home is needed. Need to be able to discuss freely within the meeting (including, e.g., discussion of security vulnerabilities). Unrestricted local participation is needed too, imho, because one of the reasons that we go to different places is to attract more participants. Freedom of expression is another matter, and would be slippery slope indeed. I think in most cases we would be better off being open and constructive, and helping more people understand what our views are than to refuse contact. --Jari Ole Jacobsen wrote: >The visa requirements one would probably prevent us from meeting in the >US, some will consider this a "feature" :-) > >The "restrictions on freedom of expression" is a little more tricky and >one could argue that the IETF should not be in the business of trying to >change policy at that level.
