I agree that this has been a significant issue, and that it is not appropriate
to have a large number of meetings in a location where a significant number of
potential attendees cannot get a visa to attend. For this reason I have been an
advocate of having a disproportionate number of the North American meetings in
Canada rather than the USA (to me the Vancouver and Montreal locations have
been just as convenient as nearby US locations, and I assume that there must
also be suitable facilities in Toronto and elsewhere).
One thing that I wonder about is whether or not this will get better with the
change of administrations in January. Thus I would be interested in hearing at
the next two US IETFs (San Francisco in March 2009, and Anaheim in March 2010)
whether people have had an easier time than they did at the current or past
IETFs.

yes, it's really a problem that IETF meeting organizers should seriously
consider.

according to IETF Meeting Venue Selection Criteria
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-palet-ietf-meeting-venue-selection-criteria-04#section-2.3
which said "
2.3. Freedom of Participation
Meetings should not be held in countries where some attendees could
be disallowed entry or where freedom of speech is not guaranteed for
all participants.
"
My question is :"
Is USA qualified for 2.3 of draft-palet-ietf-meeting-venue-selection-criteria
as
IETF Meeting Venue ?"
It seems that many IETFer are disallowed to enter USA for ietf meeting when
ietf
is held in USA this time or other times
