Yeah, I agree. Having 100 million people show up at a Hilton
hotel for a meeting would likely have us in litigation for
decades.
Of course, it would be interesting to try to determine how
large an area would be covered by hotel bookings for so many
attendees...

I believe our US government would like to grant visas to as many
people as they can. However, if anyone wants to attend a meeting in
the US is granted a visa to come here, then I can imagine there will
be 100 million visa applications for the IETF meeting in CA
next year
alone.
Having 100 million people paying the conference fee for the
next IETF
in San Francisco, just so they could get a 1-entry conference visa
(which is what India offers at no cost for the IGF in Hyderabad),
would radically change the economical situation for the IETF.
