Hi jay,

 

On which list you mean? The IETF main list?

Yes.

 There are many cities to propose for you, all are wonderful and you can enjoy any of them, so I can Give suggests and get comments.

I mistakenly used 'city' in my message, when I meant 'country' - you do not need to propose a specific city, just a country will do, though you are welcome to propose just a city.    To be clear, if you want us to consider Egypt then you need to write to this list proposing that and inviting comment.  If the IESG decides there is consensus for us to consider Egypt then we will do that.  Until then it will not be considered.

cheers

Hi Khaled

 

If you want the LLC to consider Egypt for an exploratory meeting then you need to start a separate thread on this list proposing that, as Narelle has done and inviting comment from this list.  If the IESG considers there is consensus on this list to consider that city then the LLC will start investigations.

Hi,

 

I think Australia is a nice country maybe i never been there but worked for an australian company remotely and really it was a nice experience, but choosing it may be so long for some participants, thats why i repeat my recommendation to make Egypt in mind as a venue for the next IETF meeting, we almost have a country free of Covid17 and life is almost back to normal here, so please take it into your consideration.

 

Best Regards,

I'm keen for sure - it would be nice not to be the person doing 24 hours of flying for a change!

Hi all

The IETF last went to Australia twenty years ago in 2000 for IETF 47 in Adelaide. My understanding was that it nearly scheduled it for 2017 but concern that the almost completed Sydney international convention centre wouldn't be ready on time meant that opportunity lapsed. The IEEE held their Sections Congress there then and it was very successful. 

 

I think it is about time that the IETF looked at another meeting down under in either Australia or New Zealand as we have several committed participants from that region and should be looking to increase the IETF profile here.  I have spoken to the LLC about this and they would be very happy to consider a meeting here for 2024 or 2025.

 

The 1-1-1-* meeting policy set out in RFC 8719 says that I need to write to the community to see if there is support for this proposal before the LLC can take a proper look and so this email is doing that.  The LLC tell me that after any discussion about this, the IESG will decide if there is consensus to go ahead and if there is, the LLC will then produce a list of cities in that region and seek community input on those in the normal way, though there is no guarantee that a meeting can be arranged as it depends on venues, contracts and the other criteria in RFC 8718.

 

I would hope that by then we will be COVID tolerant and meeting in person again. If I am still CEO of the Internet Association/IX Australia we will also seriously consider hosting or assisting in locating a good host.

 

Best regards

 

Narelle
