Tim,
Apologies for singling out your note as an example. It isn't
the only one.

I just tried availability for flights from London to San
Francisco for July 2018 IETF. None of BA, Virgin or United
would offer tickets beyond January 2018. Perhaps it's
different for internal flights within the US?
I may be suffering from an arithmetic failure, but according to
my calendar, January 2018 is 12 months out and anything past the
first week of February 2018, such as July 2018, is significantly
more than 12 months out.
I know that passions run high on this set of issues, but can we
all please try to read each other's comments carefully enough to
avoid confusing the discussions by (I presume accidentally)
creating straw men and then attacking them?
best,
john
