I know, this isn't the most important issue in the world. But, I want to
say that I miss the IETF meeting T-shirts. As confirmed by Harald at
tonight's plenary, the T-shirts are normally paid for by the sponsor.
And since we don't have a sponsor here, there was no T-shirt.
Here's a suggestion for IETF 61: modify the registration web page to let
people specify the size of the T-shirt they'd like to get. Usually, a
sponsor has to estimate the number of people who want each T-shirt size.
This leads to overbuys of some sizes and underbuys of other sizes. And
it leads to some people being dissatisfied with the sizes that they were
forced to receive.
Continuing this thought, here's a suggestion for the next IETF meeting
that doesn't have a sponsor, whether it's IETF 62 or some future
meeting: Take that part of the registration form that asks for T-shirt
size and add one more choice: none. Then charge the people who pick a
T-shirt an extra $15 to cover the cost of the shirt, and those that
don't want it won't pay for it.
Then beforehand, set up a mailing list for those interested in designing
the shirt, exchanging designs, and picking one out. I'm sure you'll get
enough takers to do it.
Excellent suggestions.
I'd happily pay $15US for a t-shirt, each time, sponsor or no sponsor.
