RE: IETF74 T-Shirt Art Donated to IETF Trust

Hi,
Though, I think IETF has been always in the lavanguardia of fashion, I think 
Henk is absolutely right.  Let people have their t-shirt if they want to. As 
long as there is no risk for the IETF.

Who would that hurt? The money goes for a good cause - making the Internet work.

Cheers,

Jonne.

If the IETF sold 100 shirts we would IMO be doing well. If we sold 1000,

That would net $ 5000. That's less than ten registrations at a meeting. 
I am neutral about whether or not we do this, but please don't imagine 
that it will supplant registration fees or otherwise lead to sudden riches.

I'd be suprised if we sold more than a 100 shirts.   I see this primarily
as a service to attendees, not as a way to generate money.  You get a shirt
for free, if you want a 2nd one for whatever reason, you can buy it.  The
IETF gets a few $$ for the trouble.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
