I agree 100% with George and would just add NANOG to the list of meetings that went from f2f to online. NANOG used a cute “enter coupon FREE at at checkout” approach which then discounted the fee to $0.00. Most of all, it seems to me that the timing aspect of this decision is all wrong. It really doesn’t seem that long ago that we had IETF 107 go online followed shortly thereafter by various lockdowns all over the world. I agree that the issue is not so much the actual fee as it is a change in model and the perception of our open process. Those active dedicated participants who would normally attend in person will probably still brave the timezone challenge and attend, while “lurkers” and observers who are otherwise unable to attend might just not bother if they have to pay. At the end of the day, I do not think that is good for our community. One datapoint: The RIPE meeting which went “virtual” in May had *record* attendance (and no fee).
