How much bigger is this bill than for previous events? I've seen some of
the paperwork for hosting large ITU events, and the "UN presence" bill
there was substantial too.
Of course, Bali is rather further from Geneva than many previous
locations for the IGF. The business class fare is at least $10k (if you
aren't buying discounted, restricted, tickets).
