Since you brought up the subject of hotel: up to now IETF hotel prices have
been within the federal per diem allowance, but IETF82 seems an exception by
a pretty big gap (see
http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem_action.asp?MenuHide=1&CountryCode=1142,
lodging allowance $186/day, a single room at Hyatt is $263/day with 10% tax)
As for the rates, they are high. Taiwan is expensive, particularly given that
the hotels know what our options are when we book the TICC. The Hyatt knew
that foreign visitors needed to use the Hyatt as headquarters and charged
accordingly. Since the time of our site visit, 2 new hotels have been
constructed in the vicinity of the TICC (Le Meridien and W), which may provide
more competition for Hyatt in these circumstances. At the time we were working
on this event, there were no acceptable options.
