Ted,

I have paid to attend IETF. It is expensive. In fact, for Prague IETF
registration alone plus VAT cost twice as much as the airfare to get there
from US! I was only able to justify the trip only because we ran Netdev
conference at the same location a week before.

Yes, and I hope this is considered a bad thing lest IETF becomes an elitist
organization with only a handful of bigger players running the show.

Maybe there should be a "non-sponsored" registration tier with a discount
to help make it affordable for the little guys.
