OK, on a side note... a quick look back at
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/directory.html enties since 2000 makes
me think we're still pretty successful at finding hosts for IETFs
OUTSIDE the US, but about 50-percent successful at finding hosts
INSIDE the US, and especially in Minneapolis...

I'm not privy to exactly how the secretariat decides on the venues,
but I suspect that the relationship may be the reverse. I.e.,
that we have meetings in Minneapolis when we don't get an
offer of a host somewhere else.


One aspect was that the original Minneapolis deal was for several 
meetings -- it was a good deal, so they accepted it, but we had to go 
back.  The secretariat also found the hotel very good to work with, as 
I recall.
