I certainly endorse the idea of considering Canada or Mexico as possible
sites for future IETF meetings, but I suspect that the weekly
teleconferece calls that the IAB and IESG have represent a significant
line item for the Secretariat.
In case anyone has not heard, SIP is quite capable of handling this type
of task and there are a variety of commercial as well as open source
Client User Agents as well as commercial products and services that
could help reduce this cost.
Are there existence proofs of IETF-style WGs conferencing via SIP these
days? I don't know anything about these services, but it seems to me that
to be practical, a SIP-capable conf call service would also have to
support plain-old telephony callers as well.
