Well my understanding from prior discussions was that the intent was to
encourage more participation. When R/T airfare is on the order of $140 who
is local is quite different. Etc. For self sponsored individuals,
attending an IETF meeting is a big expense. And from what I've heard,
folks with corporate sponsors are cost sensitive as well.
Since multiple one-day passes aren't explicitly prohibited, I have to
assert that they are permitted, and based on many of the reasons for
having the option in the first place, it makes sense that they be
permitted. I understand that adding the option to the web registration
at this stage would be difficult ... so just tell me what the required
level of uniqueness is and I'll sign up twice.
Thanks

David,
As the policy currently stands, attendees are not permitted to purchase two
one-day passes. From the IETF 77 registration announcement:
---
One Day Pass Registration - USD 200.00
We are once again offering a one-day pass for $200. Benefits are:
1. Attend all sessions during any one day of the Meeting, and partake of
the food and beverage during the breaks
2. You select which day to attend when you show up onsite to check-in
3. Payments may be made onsite without a late fee
4. Pass can be upgraded to a full Meeting Registration, however, late fee
may apply if initial one-day payment not made before Early Bird deadline
5. Attend Sunday Tutorials at no additional charge
6. Attend Sunday Welcome Reception at no additional charge
7. Attend Wednesday and Thursday Plenaries at no additional charge

It's true that the above does not explicitly state the "only one 1-day pass
allowed per person" policy, though my understanding is that is the clear
intent. The primary intention behind the one-day pass is to give new -- mostly
local -- individuals a less expensive introduction to the IETF and what it is
all about.
Finally, I want to note that as long as you register and pay by March 12, your
meeting fee will be only $635.
Regards,
Alexa

What is the right way to register for two one day passes? Since the money
comes directly from my personal resources, attending two days for $400
is much better than ~800.
