Tim,

Ah, I think you missed my point about this. If you can gaurantee a hotel or a set of hotels in a given location somekind of volume the pricing for the event goes down. It allows
for pricing based on average attendance of all three meetings.

1. Pick a place and have the meetings there 3 times a year banking that one could get volume discounts and pricing for usage of the hotel. Other standards bodies have done

i think on the contrary have 3 meetings but in north america, europe
and asia each year to maximise audience.   there are cheap places in
europe, like madrid...
