In the LEMONADE group we had the same initial thoughts (there is
another word for that phrase...) about attendance when we were
planning interim meetings.
Here are some stats:
Vancouver: no visa issues for anyone: about 10 participants
Dallas: a few visa troubles: about 15 participants
Toronto: no visa issues for anyone: about 10 participants
London: few visa issues for anyone, geographically closest to 50% of
the active WG members: about 10 participants
Beijing: few visa issues for anyone: about 25 participants

and we would appreciate your feedback.
I would suggest waiting until after Hiroshima to make a decision.
I'm
hearing that a large number of people (such as myself) do not have the
budget for a trip to Asia. I suspect an IETF in China within the
next 2
years will have lower attendance than Hiroshima.
