I don't know if you are aware of it, but there is a very simple algorithm
for determining what the "conference hotel" will be for any given meeting.
Ask what city it is in, and find out what the largest hotel is.
We are already going to the largest places we can find short of going to
conference centers; in some cases, we are already using conference centers.
I have asked the Secretariat to advise me, quantitatively, of the
implications of making that leap. I can tell you up front that it has
implications for either the meeting fee or the corporate sponsorship.
