I am somewhat surprised about this:

   LETTERS OF INVITATION:

   After you complete the registration process, you will be given the
   option of requesting a Letter of Invitation for IETF 71 in  
Philadelphia
   and for IETF 73 in Minneapolis. You can request the Letter of  
Invitation
   as soon as you finish registration, or at a later time by  
following the
   link provided in the confirmation email.

Why does anyone need to REGISTER first before getting an invitation  
letter
which may help with getting a VISA ???

To cut down on scams where people ask for letters of invitation as a  
means
of getting a visa with no intention of attending the meeting.

There is evidence that the IETF has been prey to this in the past,  
and other international meetings certainly have.
