joining the IETF is luxury Re: 70th IETF - Registration

the early-bird
price of USD 700.00. 

After Early-Bird cutoff - USD 850.00

so expensive.


joining the IETF is luxury for individual.

IETF should not take the money from the individual pocket. and should absorb 
more finance support from big company

Why is it so expensive?

IETF lives in  more luxury hotel?
IETFer eat more than before?
Meeting room is more expensive?
Salary is higher?

the price of ticket to join the IETF is not to encourage the individual with 
little dollars and small company to join the IETF.

Raising the ticket price is to raise the doorsill of IETF to exclude those who 
want to join but not enough dollars.

it seems that IETF is becoming a wealthy club.
