How do you square this against working group sessions that have  
obviously been packed, where previous sessions were only moderately  
attended but many new faces show up in anticipation of a very  
important hum?

I'm all for making the best decision in the face of outside coercion,  
but better guidelines (not processes) need to be given regarding how  
the IETF and working groups judge a participant as a valid  
participant.  And they need to be consistent across the various  
flavors of IETF participation.

Until then, I do not favor dismissing these emails.
