I think San Diego was worse than Dublin in that respect. At least in
Dublin there were free busses to the city center.

the
usual array of hotels, restaurants, markets and the like.
Rewinding eleven:
Hiroshima
Stockholm
San Francisco
Minneapolis
Dublin
Philadelphia
Vancouver
Chicago
Prague
San Diego
Montreal
Of these I can name only Dublin as falling into the category which you
class as a pattern. I am not saying Maastricht or Dublin did not have
problems, I am saying the claim that there is a significant pattern
here is over-stating it.
Please keep in mind that we have several "non-negotiable" requirements
for venue selection. The first is actually availability of venue on
our dates since our dates are FIXED. Proposals for changing the
meeting model won't necessarily change that reality.
