Agreed. Also, we know of some other groups that have tried it and
the place didn't burn down, and we are told that Japan specifically
is a place that really appreciates the option for Japanese locals.

Ray,
My concern about your One Day Pass experiment is that the Hiroshima
meeting is a particularly bad venue for the experiment. Japan is a
lovely country, but it is half way around the world for the US and
Europe. I cannot imagine anyone enduring the pain of endless hours
on an
airplane, plus the hassle of international travel, for one day at
IETF.
Concur. I anticipate this will only be attractive for locals, but
each region will have its opportunity
in turn.

That concern is equally valid for those in Asia for any IETF held in
!Asia. There are at least 2 obvious benefits of this proposal.
1. Encourage participation from people in the local area who would
otherwise never be able to attend IETF in person.
2. Expose people in the local area to the value of attending IETF in
person so that they are more likely to travel to a future IETF
(whether they then choose to attend the whole conference or not).
Both of those benefits are equally valid regardless of the value of
"local area" that the meeting happens to be held in.
