But you do realize that, it is often suggested that people in WG
meetings and in the plenary state their name and affiliation
before saying something, and that for a couple of years now,
_all_ meetings use audio broadcast and are archived. 

Agreeably, stating your name and affiliation is considered a
courtesy, and there is no "IETF Police" enforcing it, but people
are regularly reminded of that courtesy.  :)

Protecting food and probably "temporarily parked" equipment
while feeding, getting water or queuing for the mike seems
like a concern, where the local host or hotel might be in
a better position to perform risk management/assessment.


So have the IAOC add a question to their questionary for
meeting locations about the security concerns of the local
host and hotel and their expected procedure to address
them, so that this can be communicated ahead of the meeting,
and be done with it (for this meeting) ?
