I've been to several conferences at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in
Waikiki. Both the hotel and the attached convention center are large
enough to host several IETFs simultaneously.
Cheers,
Andy

Why Kauai? You list detailed reasons why Hawaii is logical and
solves for many of the problems, but you don't say why this island.
Because it's the nicest, obviously. :)
I strongly disagree: the leeward coast of Maui (in particular, Kihei &
south) is far better. Kauai is way too rainy...
We can even rotate islands if people get bored.
Well, there are extensive conference facilities on Oahu, the Big
Island, Maui, and Kauai. I have no information as to if they would
work for a group of our size and with our need for breakout rooms.
I used to attend IEEE 802 and they met in Kauai (Grand Hyatt in Poipu)
every few years, but they were a smaller group. There aren't many
restaurants nearby, but I certainly don't remember anyone ever
complaining about it. ;)
3GPP2 used to (still does?) meet in Wailea every December. Although that is
also a much smaller group than the IETF, the hotels dwarfed it so it might
be possible to find a reasonable venue for the IETF. However, I think that
this is just an idle fantasy: the IETF has too much moral fiber to meet
someplace that might actually be fun ;-).
