[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Franck Martin]

Hi

USD3M is roughly currently the budget to run the 3 IETF meetings, and
IBM, CISCO, and Comcast are already picking this up.

There are less than 1000 participants at each of the 3 IETF meetings.
All participants are self funded and have to pay about USD600 as
registration fee.

I think there was 1000 participants to INET at the best of times?

Other may have better memory than me.

Anyhow if ISOC decide to pick up this tab (this could be possible),
there must be a strong advantage to spend this amount in a conference
rather than let's say giving it to  chapters for doing good in their
region. With about 100 chapters, this would be 30,000USD each.
Alternatively USD3M would be about 15,000-30,000 XO laptops from OLPC.

Cheers
