Let me ask, since you clearly have opinions on such matters - what would you

You addressed this message specifically to Michal.
But being a foreigner to most people on this list :-), I think I can
answer this as well.
Great plan!
There is additional value in repeat performances that is rarely being
discussed here. And going to places that we know will work takes a lot
of uncertainty out of the planning, uncertainty that only generates more
uncertainty (will X come to the meeting in this strange place? Is it
even worth having a meeting if X isn't there and Y will have visa
problems ...).
So please do go ahead with that plan. (And please endure the kvetching
-- the majority on this will be a silent one.)

PS.: And, yes, the Prague meetings have been great repeat performances.
