Hi Spencer,
I don't expect we have changes on the way we select venues for a few years.
Otherwise, the process for selecting them is not fair neither objective,
because a venue need to be selected (logistic reasons) at least 18-24 months
ahead. That means that lessons that we learn about what may be right or
wrong in the document will take more than 2 years to get debugged. Right now
we have already an experience of 20 years and we haven't changed too much
lots of things.
Moreover, we do changes in our documents, is not an issue if they are an RFC
or not.
And ... Being the document a guideline (may be BCP better than
Informational), is IAD the one that will take decisions about the venue
selection. I guess he will be smart enough to "correctly" apply the document
to the process. I've no doubt on that.
Regards,
Jordi

Fully agree. What is the justification for this becoming an RFC?
Well, backing up slightly ...
How much of our process stuff (including existing BCPs) really needs to be
published as an RFC?
Some does, I suppose, but "never changes" doesn't seem like the model we
should search for on venue selection (the venue selection model used for the
first 10 IETF meetings probably wouldn't have even booked us into
Minneapolis, much less Adelaide!).
Having said this, I hope the IAOC does find this document useful input
(because if they don't, people have sure been wasting zeros and ones on THIS
list...
Thanks,
Spencer
