Jason, I think the issue here is that we are now charging for something we didn’t before. That is, we allowed remote participation at IETF meetings without a fee unto and including IETF 107. As Brian points out, this change in policy was done with out any discussion. I also note that everything we do in the IETF has a cost to it. Every email, internet draft, submission to the IESG, working group charter, IETF tool, etc., etc. We can see all these costs in the IETF LLC budget. None of it is free. The question is which of these do we charge for? According the budget at: https://ietf.org/blog/ietf-administration-llc-2020-budget/ the non-meeting operating expenses are about $5.1 million per year. Even the meeting revenue (including registration fees) doesn’t cover all of the meeting expenses. That is, $3.8M revenue vs. $4.1M costs. How do we decide what to charge for? What is the policy? Also, what does the budget look like without face to face meetings?

But there's been a fee to attend an IETF meeting for as long as I've participated in the IETF. I might suggest that another way of considering this is that the typical meeting fee is being discounted for the virtual meeting. > > Jason > (not speaking for the IETF LLC - personal view) > > On 6/1/20, 8:39 AM, "ietf on behalf of Suresh Krishnan" <ietf-bounces@ietf.org on behalf of suresh.krishnan@gmail.com> wrote: > > +1.
