Hi,
I think I am somewhat confused by this discussion.
In one place you say:

The IETF should indeed meet where our participants come from. That
was my initial comment (from the mike) on "are we from Latin
America, Africa, or Antarctica?" I think that remains to be shown.
and in another:

from the norht american stats. I would encourage you to compare the
european and asiapac meetings, from the proceedings. My observation
is that the region/country the meeting happens in tends to be
exaggerated. Yokohama, for example, was 1977 folks, of which 1/4
were US and perhaps 40% were Japanese. Seoul was similar.
so does this mean that when the meeting is in NA, then the NA
population is also exaggerated.
Or rather that a large number of participants will come from whatever
region the meeting is in
(at least for the NA, EU, or Asiapac regions - we have no evidence on
LAC or Africa), giving us no objective criteria for weighing one
region over another.
If this holds, don't we have a parity situation where the meetings
should alternate equally between these 3 regions with maybe an
occasional meeting in a developing area, like an easy to get to
region in Africa or LAC.
