Thx Jay for clarification.

Do we have a copy of IETF registration rules or URL to it ?

Hi Philllip,

Thank you for your opinion. First I am not sure if registering in IETF is
really a contract in a legal sense. It is more like an event fee. But let's
assume it is. So IETF is a US company and it chooses to have a conference
in Mozambique.

I am in EU registering for that conference on IETF web page. Which law is
applicable ? US or EU or Mozambique ?

I asked above for the registration rules as it seems that if rules clearly
state up front that any dispute would be handled according to US law -
there is no case.

Many thx,
Robert.
