Re: Meetings in other regions

If the IETF is trying to promote the Internet (as ICANN does), then holding meetings where participants aren't generally from is a step in spreading the Internet.

If the IETF is meant to be a bare-bones, get engineering work done, it ought to be in the most cost effective location. For what ever formulation of cost effective.

If the IETF is to be both, we have to compromise.

"Cost effective" is relative. I was asked what that meant to me: it means least transit time from my couch to the hotel registration desk. I know that's not generalizable - as no one else travels from my couch to the IETF.
