sorry, but that is just incorrect. Check https://ietf.org/meeting/past.html

IETF18 was in Canada, 27 in The Netherlands, 30 in Toronto, 33 in Stockholm, 39 
in Munich -- and that was 20 years ago. We've been rotating ever since.

This was probably true before the mid-90s. It certainly hasn't been since.
