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

alone.
thank you for demonstrating so clearly the jingoistic prejudice at the
us government level that should preclude ietf being held in the united
states.
How would you solve the problem? Let 100 million people in on false
pretenses? I'm not going to defend the behavior of the US government,
but I want you to admit that US immigration has a difficult problem.
Slinging labels around doesn't help.
Remember, the IETF is NOT special. There are tens of thousands of conferences,
and they are all pretty much need-to-be-treated equal. If the US gave
effectively carte blanch to conference attendees, you would have no immigration
controls, period, as this would be a big enough loophole to fly an A380 through.
The Visa issue in the US is serious, but how many people are really affected by
this?
We need hard data, because the notion of simply "not holding IETF meetings in a
terrorist country" is not effective.
And if you want to do Visa issues as a criteria, you can strongly argue that
all IETF meeting SHOULD be in a country where a visa is not required for travel
for EU, US, Japanese, and Canadian citizens.
