Currently IETF 95 is scheduled for 27 March to 1 April 2016.  27 March is 
Easter.

The IAOC is proposing IETF 95 be rescheduled for 20 - 25 March 2016 and 
would like 
feedback on those dates before making a decision.  Comments appreciated to

20 march is palm sunday on the western calender.

If one's a conflict presumably the other is too...

I personally avoid being away from home on Easter, and would prefer that the 
IETF meeting avoid it.

Yes, Palm Sunday is a question, but not quite on the same scale as Easter. I 
will note, however, that Good Friday (the Friday before Easter) is a national 
holiday in a number of countries. People schedule vacations around that weekend.

My suggestion: take the week of April 3 or later.
