However, I think what Melinda is saying and what you are saying are not in
conflict.   We have a problem in the IETF that in-person attendance counts
for too much.   This is a real problem.   We should do something about it.
  Then the question of whether to do world tours becomes more of a
logistical/financial issue, which is really what it should be.   And like
you, I found this trip much easier than going to Asia, although I know our
colleagues from Asia found it just the opposite. :)
