Re: IETF Meeting Venue Selection Criteria

Hi,

I think there needs to be some mention of requirements such as:

- MUST NOT be held in a country whose visa requirements are so stringent as to make it impossible or even extremely difficult for some participant to attend.

- MUST NOT be held in a country with restrictions on freedom of expression, especially if these extend to the blocking of web sites or any other censuring of personal communications.

- MUST NOT be held in a country were local participants would be under pressure to support national technical policies on threat of imprisonment or other punitive actions, for their opinions.

- MUST NOT be held in a country were local participants would need government approval to attend.

a.
