I don't think IETF is only about individual participation as your message
may mentioned. IETF needs both forces.

If IETF charges that channel then it will die, that is its way of
progress.  I know no one proposed charging the list, it is all about
meetings.

How does IETF measure quality if not considering average individual
outcome? Usually the receiver determines quality not the server. We need to
know the real average outcome of IETF meeting.

 That example you mentioned was not my meaning of participant-outcome, the
meaning examples of outcome are: 1) one individual in One region wants to
attend one IETF meeting WG session in another region, but he/she must pay
fee for at least one full day. 2) A small company in One region wants to
participate in one IETF meeting day in same region, so it only needs to
send one individual. Both 1 & 2 participations pay the same
meeting-fee, but different outcome of using IETF meeting. 3) an individual
not supported by employer is participating in IETF (full volunteering), and
got WG acceptance of presentation slot. 4) an individual supported by their
company (we know support by naming company name in the IETF, so if it is
named/called then it supports that individual) but was not accepted with
clear reason. Both 3 & 4 are paying same in fees and same outcome (i.
e. good feedback and respond) but different in work support and
different in participation per work.
