So if the question is whether the IETF should sign any agreement that
takes responsibility for the behavior attendees, I'd say that this is a
bad idea.   It's not really an issue of politics -- I'd say the same
thing if the meeting were being held in Palm Beach and the city
requested that the IETF take responsibility for ensuring that
participants conformed to the dress code (no white after labor day!).

Wearing white after Labor Day, while gauche, does not put a damper on
technical discussions (and their inevitable political ramifications)
within the IETF.
