I've been wondering the same thing.   Would it be reasonable to specify 
ballpark
dates (say +/- 1 week) six years out as long as the actual dates were nailed
down say three years out?

Discussions with the hotel starts only 2 years out, so fixing dates 3 years
out won't change a thing.   There is also the clash list, which limits the
weeks when we can have a meeting.

If we want more flexibility in order to find better hotel deals, then we have
to do something like: dates are fixed approximately 1.5 years out, and we do
not mind having meetings back-to-back with other organizations on the clash
list.  That means that some folks will have to travel around the globe between
Friday afternoon and Sunday morning in order to make it from one meeting to
another.
