I think there is general agreement that no "normal" IETF topic should

To rephrase in a way that you may not agree.
"We certainly need to establish that the environment of the site, host or
country would not cause us or tend to cause us to modify our behavior away from
that common to normal IETF meetings."
It really isn't about whether or not we might or might not get in trouble, its
whether or not the plain language of the laws and contracts describe an
environment which is incompatible with the IETF norm.
All that is happening thanks in part to the dicussion that has taken
place on this list.
