The IETF holds three plenary meetings a year and charges a fee to participate
in these meetings in order to offset the cost. The IETF does not charge any
form of membership fee and makes all of its publications freely available,
making the meeting fee the sole monetary cost of participation, and the IETF
provides remote registration fee waivers to ensure that the fee is not a
barrier to participation.
It has been eight years since the IETF last increased onsite meeting fees
while, over that time, IETF meeting costs have risen significantly, in line
with global inflation, and IETF meetings now incur an ongoing deficit that is
unsustainable beyond the short term.
The IETF Administration LLC has conducted a review of IETF meeting registration
fees and proposes to increase them, largely in line with inflation, effective
from IETF 117 San Francisco, 22-28 July 2023. It further proposes to review
fees annually in future.
The full review and details of the proposed changes can be found in
https://www.ietf.org/media/documents/IETF_Meeting_Fee_Review_2023.pdf
Please provide feedback on this proposal either to the public list
[email protected] or directly to me at [email protected] before
Monday 3 April 2023..
