History of this particular meeting, as I was told by the secretariat:
- We tried to hold it in Minneapolis as per tradition :-)
- The dates available for Minneapolis conflicted with another conference
- The search for sites came up with two alternatives: Boston and San
Francisco.
- The facilities in San Francisco were quite a bit better than those in
Boston
- The secretariat proposed San Francisco, and I approved that.
If we get twice as many people as in Atlanta, crowding may be a problem.
But twice as many people is a LARGE increase.

San Francisco is very convenient for many people (including me) - but
perhaps it's just *too* convenient. Every other IETF meeting held in the
Bay Area in recent years has been a zoo.
I thought there was consensus to try not to hold IETF meetings in the Bay
Area?
