Doesn't this move the IETF a bit further along the scale of meetings

As others have stated, the cost of attending IETF is overwhelming
dominated by (a) the cost of the engineer's (or consultant's) time,
and (b) the cost of airfare and travel. Even if the person in
questions is a student that doesn't where the value of their time (at
least measured by their professors :-) is close to zero, the travel
expenses overwhelmingly dominates.
