Yes, remember we have here a big number of restaurants that can handle all the IETFers during their stay here plus more tourists, so it is a fair choice so you will never think to leave back home :-) As an Egyptian, it is better to recall the history of the meetings and you will find out that none of the meetings held in Egypt before, so why not try as proposed and enjoy and let others enjoy, if it will be a bad experience, don't come again.

How pleasant to while away dreaming of distant venues, lovely gluten-free dinners in nearby restaurants in Egypt or Aukland or somewhere else new. Unfortunately, there seems to be nowhere to discuss the contingency that the soonest the 1-1-1 cadence can resume is "never". How does the IETF work without a plenary meeting? What if you call a meeting and nobody comes? How can the IETF function in a distributed fashion? What are the difficulties and how can they be addressed? What are the problems with _those_ solutions? This is a bit of "protocol" engineering that no one will do for the IETF. It's contingency planning, but the probability of the contingency isn't low. SHMOO is chartered explicitly to avoid the cadence question. So GENDISPATCH? Really? Larry -- https://tenor.com/search/don-t-feed-the-trolls-meme-gifs take your pick
