Lars:
The IAOC plan for 2008 and 2009 is to have three meetings in North
America, two meetings in Europe, and one meeting in Asia. This 3:2:1
ration will be repeated for 2010 and 2011. So far, we are on track
to make this happen.
The IETF web site is aligned with this plan:
Spring 2008 - 71st IETF
March 9-14, 2008
Host: Comcast
Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA
Summer 2008 - 72nd IETF
July 27 - August 1, 2008
Host: TBD
Location: Europe (Provisional)
Fall 2008 - 73rd IETF
November 16-21, 2008
Host: Google
Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA
Spring 2009 - 74th IETF
March 22-27, 2009
Host: TBD
Location: Europe (Provisional)
Summer 2009 - 75th IETF
July 26-31, 2009
Host: TBD
Location: Asia (Provisional)
Fall 2009 - 76th IETF
November 8-13, 2009
Host: TBD
Location: North America (Provisional)
As we discussed at the IETF 69 Plenary, we have had some difficulty
arranging hosts. We are be willing to discuss changing venues in
order to get hosts. This is the reason for "(Provisional)" on the
web site. However, we would make changes in a way that preserves the
3:2:1 ratio. So, we are in discussion with several potential hosts
that could lead to exactly this type of juggling. We have someone
that wants to host the Summer 2009 meeting in Europe, and we have
someone that wants to host the Fall 2009 in Asia. If all of this
comes to pass, we will be looking for a host for the Spring 2009
meeting in North America in order to preserve the 3:2:1 ratio.

Similar to IETF-67, which moved from Europe to San Diego, we're again
moving a meeting that was planned to happen in Europe to North America.
Looking at IETF-60 to IETF-70, 8 out of the 10 IETFs were in North
America. I'd be good if we could re-balance this in the future.
