"...what pays the IETF bills..." ?

Doesn't your cyberspace leasing company (ARIN) help pay those bills ?

Also, if you look at the 3+ million .ORG owners, each paying $6 per year,
that is $18,000,000. At $250,000 per insider, that should fund 72 people
to fly around all year. That probably beats having them sitting in an office
watching the paint dry. At least they are recycling the money back into the
airline and hotel industries.

Latin American and the Caribbean have a lot of nice vacation spots. Will
the I* society be focusing there next ?
