Right, but should IETF need to hire lawyers in each country in order to get
an expert opinion about whether members of each of an enumerated set of
groups can legally be harassed when attending a meeting there, and about the
likelihood of that happening?
What about the IAOC writing to the IETF list and/or recent attendees when they
are considering going to a new country, asking if anyone has any feedback on
the idea? And then considering that feedback _before_ making a final decision,
signing a contract, etc?
It seems to me that if this issue had been raised before the IAOC had made a
non-refundable $80K deposit and had negotiated $150K in benefits from the
Singapore government, there would have been a lot more latitude for choosing a
different location.
