Ray,
Reflecting on the current discussion of hotels and observing
that several people have expressed concern about statements like
"can't do anything to change the policies or affect that date or
location because we are working three years out", does this
imply that you and the IAOC are making commitments we could not
change if we wanted to (even if circumstances changed) 5 1/2
years out. I'm all in favor of pinning down dates well in
advance but, when we start talking about commitments to
"venues", it is a source of some small anxiety.
Thanks for raising the issue. We always evaluate the risks when
entering into contracts, especially hotel contracts into the future.
We feel very comfortable with the risk for the meeting in San
Francisco in 2021 at the Hilton with the combination of attrition,
block reduction, and cancellation provisions that are in the contract
and the multi-event agreement we have with the Hilton.
In my 10 years the Internet Society has never paid for a shortfall
in filling IETF meeting guest rooms to which we have committed.
My best for a happy and healthy new year.
Ray
