I read the first quoted paragraph as meaning that non-US/non-EU IETF 
participants hardly discuss about visa issues on this mailing 
list.  There were 20 messages to the venue-selection@ietf.org "drop" 
list.  None of those messages were from non-US/non-EU IETF 
participants with concerns about visa issues.

The issue being discussed on ietf@ietf.org has political implications.
