it seems that IETF is becoming a wealthy club.
I agree it's a shame, but I disagree with your conclusions. The IETF
isn't a membership organization. You don't pay any dues to belong to
it, and there's no requirement to go to any meeting in order to be a
full participant.
The official business of the IETF is still conducted -- for free and
without discrimination -- on open mailing lists. I hope it always
remains that way.
Physical attendance is a requirement to be able to participate in the
NOMCOM process in the IETF, so I would disagree that you don't have to
attend meetings in order to be a full participant.
