Hmm... folding Australia into Asia, Africa into Europe and S America into N
America (for discussion purposes only) that's roughly
1/1/1.7 as a ratio. (Asia/Europe/NA). Or 4/4/7.
It will be interesting to see what the other runs of the data show.

Assuming the very simple model that attendance consists of a fixed number of
constant attendees from each continent plus a "continentally local" variable
number that only show up when the IETF meets on their continent and using the
very limited data provided, using a rough least squares fit I get the
following:
Constant Attendees
Africa 6
Asia 236
Europe 254
N.America 409
Australia 14
S.America 8
Continentally Local Attendees
Asia 333
Europe 173
N.America 232
Thanks,

During my IAOC chair plenary talk at IETF78 (slides are in the proceedings) I
asked a question about continuing the current meeting policy (3 in North
America, 2 in Europe, 1 in Asia in two year period (3-2-1) ) or changing to a
1-1-1 policy based on current meeting attendance. The talk included a graph
of attendance by continent for IETF72-IETF78. I was asked to provide this
data to the community.
It is attached. It includes the raw data and a new graph that shows
attendance by percentage. It appears to me that a 1-1-1 meeting policy is
justified by current overall IETF meeting attendance.
Your comments are appreciated.
Bob
