It's not only boring. It's expensive, too. The participants have to pay for the fame.

No. The TCRs must pay their own way or get their employer to pick up the travel costs. IMO this should change.

They don't, and they have not ever. Some people have made statements in the past suggesting that this is a strength, since there can be no question that ICANN is buying support from TCRs by covering expenses. Others have suggested that this is nonsense, and that TCRs' instructions from ICANN are clearly to criticise the observed processes, a job which they do very well regardless of who is paying for the hotel and air travel costs. ICANN issued a public comment somewhat recently that seems relevant. http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/tcr-dnssec-key-signing-21jan14-e...
