If you want to be fair to the individual participants you have to optimize

regularly attends the IETF. Obviously one can only approximate that by putting
fairly large error bars on the costs but isn't the X-Y-Z distribution where X=
approx Y= approx Z the closest optimum? (or finding one place that sucks
equally for everybody)
One place that sucks for everybody has the great advantage of reducing the
stress associated with travel. A lot of people were stressed about the various
ways of getting to Maastricht, and a lot more are stressed about getting to
Beijing (what with various kinds of visas, hotels and taxi drivers who don't
speak any language other than Chinese)
If we standardize on one place, then by your second meeting, you know
everything about the place, and people can cut&paste their complaints from the
previous meeting.
