 I would also like to suggest that the ability of certain members
to bring their family on a vacation that coincides with an IETF
should not be a governing factor in venue selection. Many people
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.

So then, the IETF policy would read ³The IETF may hold meetings in
countries where the law declares some people less valid. If you are such a
person, then the IETF recommends that to avoid trouble with the law you
should hide who you are, including not bringing your family.²

Is this the organization that the IETF is going to be?
