The IAOC has approved giving advance notice of the IETF Meeting hotel venues for 2013 as an experiment. Customarily such information has not been provided prior to registration opening for that meeting, however the IAOC is persuaded that it may be advantageous to attendees and wants to determine whether there are any unintended consequences. IETF 88 March 10 - 15 Location: Orlando, FL Venue: Caribe Royale Registration now open: <https://www.ietf.org/meeting/86/index.html> IETF 87 July 28 - August 2 Location: Berlin, Germany Venue: InterContinental Berlin (Note: Reservations to open approximately 12 weeks before the meeting.) IETF 88 November 3-8 Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada Venue: Hyatt Regency Vancouver (Note: Reservations to open approximately 12 weeks before the meeting.) Providing Venue information for 2013 is an experiment to determine impacts to participants, Secretariat, contracts, venue, and budget. A decision will be made whether to continue to provide Venue information for 2014 after IETF 88. Ray IETF Administrative Director
