This wording seems strange. "an entry visa for the country in which this meeting is being held" Isn't Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States ?...as indicated by USA Is the meeting being held in some other country ? Does the above mean that someone in the IETF (which has no members) "invites" anyone who asks ?....to make sure they get a Visa... Are those invitations supervised by the U.S. Government ? Where is the public list of who is sent a letter of "invitation" to come to the U.S. What screening, if any, is done with these letters of invitation ? Are the U.S. Citizens in Salt Lake City, Utah informed that a shadowy group with no identifiable "members", openly sends invitations to apparently anyone, to attend a meeting for god knows what purpose, in the U.S. on a regular basis.
