The IAOC is preparing the 2007 budget and would like feedback on whether
or not to continue producing the IETF meeting CDs of the Proceedings.

It has been suggested as a way of employing limited Secretariat labor
more productively that the IAOC discontinue production of the Proceedings
on CDs and, instead, make the files available collectively on the web site
for each meeting in a zip file for downloading.  

Is there strong rationale for maintaining production of the CDs?

         i've been told that it is often useful to have a token of 
        the money that was spent. and for some, the hardcopy proceedings
        filled the bill nicely.  The CD, while not quite the same impact
        for mgmt, does provide a tangible token of participation.
        Remove that, and the question might be asked? "What do we get for
        our money?"  more often.
