Jason,

As a fairly regular in-person attendee (I think I am 97 or 98 meetings by now), I
would agree that this can be seen as a discounted meeting fee, and it seems reasonable.

However, I don’t think we should ignore those many attendees who never actually make
it to in-person meetings and who have attended via Meetecho or more recently the
YouTube live streams. There may be many reasons for their remote-only participation, 
but one has to assume that at least one reason is the registration fee (and of course
travel). These attendees are now faced with a fee which previously did not exist.
I am sure this came as a bit of a shock to them. I can think of a whole bunch of alternative
solutions including “click here if you want to sponsor another remote participant” or
whatever, but it is probably too late to implement now.

Ole

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.
