Well understood that decisions had to be made in a hurry; but letting everybody
know as much as possible, as soon as possible, has shown its advantages a
lot during this pandemic (along with the disadvantages of hiding information).

On the substance (and partly in response to SM) I know that participants
have had to cover IETF meeting costs since 1992, and presumably longer,
so I don't find this shocking. But for the longer term, we do need to
think about how this interacts with the goal of "any interested person
can participate in the work, know what is being decided, and make his
or her voice heard" [RFC3935].
