This discussion seems to get rehashed in one form or another everytime we
have a meeting it seems...
due consideration when hosting the meeting in the US (or anywhere else)
involves placing it in a location with major international air-routes to
the pacific rim and europe (and the US if outside)... New Orleans, San
Antonio, Las Vegas and my hometown (eugene oregon) aren't really in the
running when you compare them to chicago, sfo, atlanta and so on... Flying
to secondary airports on an international itinerary or worse leaving from
a secondary airport and arriving at another on the other end is
logistically complicated, and expensive, which substantially reduces the
accessiblity of the ietf.
centrality, like on the network, has more to do with physical
interconnectedness than geography.

Even with Spring in MN, this is probably still a good idea. Or New
Orleans, at least it is warm and centrally located.
Centrally of what?
