Hi David,

To the best of my knowledge, in the countries you mention, there was no contractual risk that normal activities of the IETF would result in
arbitrary cancelation of the remainder of the meeting.

That is a good point. The particular contractual agreement we are being asked to make in this case is different from other cases, and I do find it problematic. I am especially concerned about the fact that the entire IETF meeting could be cancelled due to the bad contact of one or a few participants. Given the open nature of IETF participation, those "IETF participants" wouldn't even need to be members of the IETF community. They could just be people who showed up to cause trouble...
