Well speech at IETF isn't free - it comes at the cost of 650 USD (advance registration) or a bit more on the door. If random locals want to come and make some kind of statement at IETF then all they have to do is come and do an on the door registration (at a fee of course) and make their statement at the microphone.
Alternatively they could do it for free from the jabber room! I hardly think the badge check is an effective stop to that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Saint-Andre [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 07:57 PM To: Eliot Lear <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Ole Jacobsen <[email protected]>; Samuel Weiler <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [79all] IETF Badge On 11/12/10 12:37 AM, Eliot Lear wrote: > Is there is an unspoken concern in this discussion as to whether the > host wanted to take names based on what people were saying, in the case > they said something "objectionable"? There might be many unspoken objections, e.g. that a certain kind of host might want to keep random locals out of what could be perceived as a free speech zone.
