Re: IETF Attendance by continent

2010-08-07 19:04:33

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
