This was another problem with the construction at the Fairmont. Many of the
rooms had windows blocked because of the view into the room by the
construction. I had to wait an extra couple of hours to get a room without
this “feature” when I checked in.
this all seems like lots and lots of faffing about something easily
solved with: "do not stay in the ietf hotel"
Yes.
It also seems that much of this could be solved by recognizing that
there are a large number of constraints already in place, that finding
locations in which we fit is already tricky, and that, no matter what
folk believe, the IAOC not actually a: comprised only of idiots, or b:
malicious.
Most folk on this list are engineers (or play one on TV) -- this
naturally leads to 1: I know better, and 2: I can optimize this
process, how hard can it be?!
We are going to a location to get work done (or, at least, that's what
I was led to believe), not hang out on a beach or sit in your hotel
room, sipping Mai Tai's. We already have enough of a problem with folk
not being able to justify attending meetings because their managers
think that it is a boondoggle that complaint about perhaps, maybe, not
being able to see the sunset from your window doesn't help.
