The one thing I haven't heard raised is the risk of disengagement by
folks who only participate and contribute in particular working groups
and are not "IETFers" in the sense that many of you are. You may find
that many remote contributors to working groups that are not sponsored
by enterprises will find other venues to contribute their time and
energy. 

That and it would seem odd to me to periodically move the work of an open 
standards group completely behind a paywall. 

Personally, I'm glad to participate here and there as time and interest allow. 
There's plenty of other things I could contribute to though. I think it's not 
very likely I'd pay to participate remotely.
