Hi,
I assume Hawaii has the same visa issues as the rest of US...
Regards,
Christer

Subject: Re: Optimizing for what? Was Re: IETF Attendance by continent
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 ;-).
