Melinda,
I see a difference between addressing requirements for protocol that address
national regulatory services and voicing an opinion about national
regulatory policies.
I also noticed that the issues raised on the mailing list were wider than
national regulatory services

opinions about a specific country politics or values the IETF is not
the
place to bring them forward regardless of the meeting location. The
IETF is
a technical body and not the UN.
Unfortunately (or maybe not) national regulatory policies
do have some influence on what the IETF does and one hopes
that what the IETF does has some influence on national
regulatory policies. I think the likelihood of there being
a problem seems low, but still, it's hard not to wonder about
something like the Raven process and how that particularly
boisterous meeting (Washington?) would have fared in China.
