I would suggest European networks have quite different content than elsewhere 
as a result of local censorship laws and other rights afforded to people in the 
region.

This surprises me - "this has been a condition placed on hosts...".
it was even in the hour of embarrassing babble fred used to prevent
people from talking about real problems at the bof

Could you enlighten us as to which [and I'll try to be precise here]
other IETFs had a condition where the content accessible by the IETF
network was markedly different from the content of say the network at
a local Starbuck's equivalent wifi hot spot just down the street from
the IETF and where that was mandated by the hosts and/or local laws?
I mean besides Beijing?  Key words "markedly different" and "content
accessible".
we don't specify it's 'different'.  among other silly distractions, it
would require a 'different from precisely what and in what ways?'

we simply specifiy open and unfettered

I repeat - "where" have the local hosts/laws specified conditions that 
resulted in the IETF network content access being markedly different than 
that accessible to the random local citizen?
