  I think that this is a good idea. Do you mean outside US, or outside North
America? Is it the continent, or the country?
  As has been said many times in the past, returning to the same venue over
and over again really isn't a problem to me. How a about Minneapolis,
Montreal, and... well... I can't think of another "M"-city that we've been to
already.

  If going to four meetings provided more time for actual workshops, like
was just had at ISC for DNSSEC - three days of intensive working together
in a small group, then we'd get more done. 
  I am of the opinion that the IETF needs far more organized time for
"running code" before "rough consensus" is tested for.
