That is indeed great!

FWIW, from 2001-2008 I think my then-employer would have asked me to
start participating in IETF if I had been willing and able to travel
to the meetings, but I was not because we had small children (born in
1998, 2001, and 2005).

So I'm glad to hear the IETF now offers child care, that sounds like
a helpful step forward.  If that had been available and known to me
or my boss, I might have been able to start back then.

My kids are now old enough it's no longer a problem, which was a key
prerequisite for me to start coming in 2016.
