The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider

In Section 1:

  "more efficiently than waiting until someone sends an email to the
   XXattendees(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org list in the days leading up to the meeting."

The XX is ambiguous.

In Section 2:

Is this about informative sites being difficult for non-native speakers or for people from a specific part of the world? I suggest that the author seeks feedback from people who use English as a second language.

Visa requirements is a one-liner whereas food considerations are discussed in several paragraphs. Section 3.3 is labelled International considerations. The entire document is about international considerations.
