I hope you'll consider remote participation.  I did this for IETF96 in
Berlin and it seemed to go OK.  Of course, I had  to get up at some ungodly
time in the morning but you won't have that problem since the time zone
issues are reversed (unless you are in Asia in late March).

I saw the MISSREF.  I''m guessing this is the SAM-5 issue.  I went looking
for it and the result was sobering.  This started in 2004 and it is now in
the ANSI approval process.  The page said 65% complete,, which might mean
this is years away.

It seems like the IETF is headed this way (rough consensus, running code,
interminable review) which would be a shame.  I'd like to understand why
things are getting slower and slower and see what can be done to improve
the process.
