I've tried several times to suggest a virtual attendance fee for IETF
meetings as well. There seems to be significant resistance to the concept
in that group, perhaps NANOG will be more receptive?
For the fee, I'd expect some sort of a back-channel as well (IRC channel,
email address or something so that folks who're attending virtually can ask
questions of the presenter).
