Those aren't the only criteria.  Try finding a place in Europe that can 
fit our plenary and ALSO house the number of WG meetings we have.  That 
ain't easy.

I've said this privately and I guess I'll say it publicly.  I'm no fan 
of CityWest.  But...

It's Ray's job to make the call.  It's the IAOC's job to see that he 
does his job well.  I think Ray has at least earned the benefit of the 
doubt.  Perhaps this is best viewed retrospectively since contracts are 
signed?
