I would also like to suggest that the ability of certain members

like to launder a business trip into a family vacation (myself
included!) but that's not why the IETF exists and it should have
no bearing on where we meet.
I tend to agree with that. If some of our regular participants cannot attend
themselves because of some (in my view) weird laws in a country, then
I agree we should avoid such country.
But if the problem is that a family member cannot accompany the participant,
then I think that is a thing we can consider, but it should not be a
determining factor for having a meeting at that place or not.
Just my opinion.
