For a German, the most intuitive way to get to Maastricht would actually be
to go through Cologne, Dusseldorf, or Frankfurt. From Koeln or Duesseldorf
it should be around an hour by car---no more than two hours even considering
traffic. Both airport have a rather limited number of intercontinental
flights, but good connections within Europe. From Frankfurt, when going by
car, add another hour.
For those not able or willing to rent a car, you can also take the ICE
(German bullet train) non-stop from Koeln or Frankfurt (central, but I
believe this one also stops right at the airport) to Maastricht; it takes
about 3.5 hours from FRA and is in part a very scenic ride (other parts are
just tunnel-bridge-sound-wall sceneries, but the train goes at 280 km/h
there).

Beautiful, historic and nowhere near a reasonably-sized airport.
It takes a 3 hour train ride (longer during weekends) to get to
Maastricht from Schiphol (Amsterdam airport) and a 2 hour one from
Zaventem (Brussels airport).
Trivia: Maastricht has the same population as Ann Arbor. So the IETF
meeting would temorarily increase it by 1%.
Not sure if making attending IETF meetings as difficult as possible is
a winning strategy.
