I don't think it's the IETF's place to provide a policy back to companies on
who to send or how many people can attend. This is a financial decision for

I completely agree. On the other hand, we could have a prominent
"equal opportunity" statement that would remind everybody, including
employers, that we want diversity among our participants. (And think
what fun we could have wordsmithing such a statement.)
