All,
So just a couple of thoughts that might make things financially better
for IETF and these
are tough choices:
1. Pick a place and have the meetings there 3 times a year banking that
one could get
volume discounts and pricing for usage of the hotel. Other
standards bodies have done
this and seems to have helped them to survive.
2. Eliminate all food in the hall (breakfast and afternoon snack) --
this will certainly cut
on expenses. Maybe allow water, coffee, and tea.
When faced with tough times, tough choices need to be made. These are
probably not
popular suggestions, but may go a long way towards helping the situation.
