If the goal is to make sure that unemployed chairs, working group

application procedure requesting a reduced registration price for
the full week, similar to what we have for students today.
There's also the case of people who have perfectly reasonable
employment, but unrelated to their IETF work. Open-source
implementors are a clear case - many of them would have to be
self-funded in order to attend an IETF, and that's a big commitment
(I know, I did it once). I'm afraid I see a big hole in several
working groups where the implementors should be, and that needs
rectifying badly.
