RE: [Recentattendees] Interim step on meetings site feedback — for sites currently under active consideration

Leslie,

I think all the cities provide all the facilities and conforts needed for an 
IETF meeting. I think it may depend on the time of the year. During the period 
of May to September the weather will allow the attendees to walk at lunch time. 
I have not been at other times of the year, but my feeling is tht after 
September the weather gets colder and may not be as pleasant.

Cordially

Asunto: [Recentattendees] Interim step on meetings site feedback — for sites 
currently under active consideration

All,

The IAOC and its meetings committee are continuing to review the situation with 
respect to meeting in Singapore.  As I noted about a week ago [1],  we are 
reviewing our meeting planning procedures to ensure that we have input at 
appropriate points to ensure issues are identified and addressed before 
contracts are signed and announcements made.  This will mean more transparency, 
including sharing the list of cities under consideration when we have a 
workable way to handle and hear the feedback.  We will make concrete progress 
on that at our retreat in a few weeks time.

In the meantime, we do have active site discussions and negotiations ready to 
close for meetings that are coming up.  In addition to reaching out to groups 
or agencies that have specific knowledge about travel for diverse groups 
including religious, ethnical and LGBTQ people, we are reaching out to the IETF 
community as a whole with this note.

In order to make sure we haven’t overlooked something else that should have 
been properly considered for sites under consideration, as well as to gather 
some running code on how a feedback process might work, we would like to hear 
from anyone who is aware of reasons we could not have a successful meeting in 
any of the following cities, or of any limits to attendee accessibility or 
inclusiveness that should be considered:

        Paris
        Montreal
        Copenhagen

Please send your input to venue-selection(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.  It will help 
the review process if the Subject line had the name of the city first, Subject: 
<city>.

In order not miss the contract opportunities, city-specific input would be most 
helpful if received by the end of May 2, 2016.

Other input on the process will be best received in e-mail at 
venue-selection(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org with the Subject line: Process.  As we 
iterate the process we will continue to seek input to fashion a meeting 
planning process that works.


Leslie,
for the IAOC.
