RE: IETF74 T-Shirt Art Donated to IETF Trust

Hi,
Though, I think IETF has been always in the lavanguardia of fashion, I think Henk is absolutely right.  Let people have their t-shirt if they want to. As long as there is no risk for the IETF.

Who would that hurt? The money goes for a good cause - making the Internet work.

Cheers,

Jonne.

I'd be suprised if we sold more than a 100 shirts.   I see this primarily
as a service to attendees, not as a way to generate money.  You get a shirt
for free, if you want a 2nd one for whatever reason, you can buy it.  The
IETF gets a few $$ for the trouble.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
          hope for a solution, where everybody still lives happily.
