No much difference in China either, and we had IETF in Beijing even though
China has the famous Great Fire Wall of Internet.

If this is being used as the justification, then South Korea must also be
changed. Same problem.

Reasons for Cancellation of IETF 100 Meeting in Singapore, and the IAOC
understands that to be:
“ Singapore laws against same-sex relationships between men and
preventing the recognition of same-sex marriages could create
difficulties for same-sex partners and their children; these have
discouraged affected members of our community from participating
at the IETF meeting in November of 2017 and have also influenced
others to decline to attend in principled solidarity with them.
Accordingly, the IETF has decided to postpone indefinitely the
meeting
in Singapore and is pursuing alternative venues.”
