You are absolutely right, and that's why we should continue this
discussion! I'm somewhat bored that I mostly only get to make trips
to the US. Most cities look pretty much the same, etc. I'd rather
have meetings in a changing continent principle, like I've never
been Africa or Asia or Southern America or many other exotic locations..

Wow!!! It must be Spring in Minneapolis. I hadn't realized it would be so
warm. Nice that it worked out that way.
The stockbroker's electronic sign showing the Dow trying to break

I understand the reasoning for holding the IETF here -- to discourage
all but the most highly motivated from attending. But it doesn't seem
to be working. So why, oh why, can't we just permanently move this
thing to (say) Las Vegas, where there are hotels actually large enough
to accomodate us, and where the winter climate is actually survivable?
Even with Spring in MN, this is probably still a good idea. Or New
Orleans, at least it is warm and centrally located.
sorry, but this is a US centric comment. IETF is international, so
centrally located is an interesting question: center of the earth (probably
enough hot...;-))).
back on work...
Marc.
Take care,
