This is a rare case where I disagree with Phil. This is a good
location. Unfortunately, it wasn't cold enough to discourage the
usual gaggle of folks that haven't read the charter or the drafts....
It seems pretty warm to me, and I'm walking down 6 blocks to the
cheaper hotel.
The real problem has been DHCP (again). Cannot get an address on
wireless at all (checked every day). Takes several tries (up to 20
minutes) to get an address on wired network.
Also, my Farallon card on my Mac has had a tough time even seeing
some of the AP-1000s. I've placed the laptop within 3 feet, and
detected no wireless. In other rooms, I've seen 2 or 3 APs.
None of the Mac folks I've talked to have had any success with the
wireless DHCP. We have to hand configure.
Question: did somebody use M$ NT DHCP again? We know it doesn't work
reliably.

Gee, you noticed this too, huh?
As for the "US-centric" accusations, I have no problem with holding
the IETF in various countries around the world. But when it *is* held
in the US, adequate facilities should be selected.
In all the years I've been attending the IETF (too many), the Minneapolis
Hilton has the best facilities, best sized rooms, most cookies and pops,
and the best run meetings of the bunch. Who cares what the temperature
outside is?
