I see the cost should increase for who use the time slots of the

the presentations.
You are kidding, right?
Your proposal as it stands would kill off many employers' participation at IETF
stone cold dead.
Also, you forget the one of the IETF's key features is that strictly speaking
it is not companies that participate, it is individuals. Often those
individuals are supported through the kind grace of their employers, and to
seek to actually charge those employers even more for their employee's highly
valuable contributions is frankly batshit crazy.
