While it's unlikely that I would be able to attend, I think
it's an excellent idea for reasons already better stated by

The only suggestion I might add that I haven't seen mentioned
yet (and pardon me if I missed it) would be to perhaps
schedule the meeting to piggy back on one of the excellent
regional meetings that is already well established. Arturo
gave a good list, IME LACNIC and LACTLD would be the best/most
obvious candidates. By running the IETF meeting either the
week before, or the week after one of those meetings we would
be able to get quite a bit of cross-pollination, especially
with the availability of day passes.
The dates for our meetings are already fixed out to november 2022.
Given that I don't think there are stone tablets involved, presumably
they could still be moved if there were a good reason.
The consistent feedback regarding non-conflict as long as I been
involved in this tends to indicate otherwise. 18-months to 2 years seems
much more reasonable to me personally.
While there are various sorts of force majeure events that could no
doubt alter the dates I don't see it as likely that they are otherwise
flexible. ieee plenary sessions are scehduled out to july 2018 for example.

It's not like people have already booked plane tickets to BA.
