I think the companies deserve a minimal amount of recognition for
supporting our participation.
And our place in the world informs our perspectives. That is why it is
common in the routing discussions to have the question "how many people in
this room are operators?" We want their perspective.

I actually think IETF might function better if nobody's badge had his
company's name on it, and nobody used a company email address. People
place way too much importance on someone's employer. Yes, sometimes
people break the rules and speak for their employers, but it's not wise to
assume that this is the case.
As for those who want to acknowledge who pays the travel bills - It
doesn't matter who pays the bills. What matters is whether what's being
said makes good technical sense.
