Subject: Re: Meetings in other regions
I do think there is considerable merit in identifying a set of venues
that are known to do a good job and using them whenever a meeting is
scheduled for their part of the world. Minneapolis is roughly in the
middle of the populated part of North America, the hotel knows us,
why not go back there?
it seems boring that everytime we go to the same venue.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you don't find IETF meetings to
be exciting enough on their own merits, it's OK if you don't go.
Why not kill two birds with a stone? after enjoying the nice merits of the IETF
meeting, you can appreciate the different life in the different cities at the
weekend.
It is also unfair to those who traveled from other regions such as
europe and asia.
I said "whenever a meeting is scheduled for their part of the world."
When it's time for a meeting in North America, hold it in Minneapolis.
If we find similarly reliable venues in Europe or Asia, use them when the
meetings are in those parts of the world.
Every IETF meeting is sponsored by the different companies. The sponsors
normally love holding the meeting in the local city where the sponsor is
located. Even you and me agree that the meeting is held in the same city, the
sponsor may disagree.
R's,
John
