Hi Ted,

A same sex male couple attending the IETF in Singapore will break the law to have a normal family life. Suspending that life for a week may have no great important or lasting impact to some; for others it may mean they cannot attend except remotely. That latter choice may have an impact on what jobs they can do for the IETF and may have an impact on their employers' view of their work.

I understand that giving a person a choice about whether to break the law or not is a problematic choice.

There is a message at https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg14921.html from the IAB about a volunteer to serve on the ICANN Technical Liaison Group with the following requirement: "The ICANN TLG is expected to meet in person at or around the three ICANN meetings held each year". Would the inability to attend, for example, an ICANN meeting for the reason I mentioned above be a disqualifying factor?
