One of the things that we need to address is that the meetings are announce (city), at least 1 year in advance, without exceptions.
Normally we would, but you may remember that COVID made international travel very difficult until recently and we need to visit places before we book them to check they meet our needs. We generally need a 1-2 year run up to booking a meeting. I got some info, not sure if right or not, that Brisbane was not the initial venue in Australia and Brisbane has been a last minute choosing because the previous venue failure.
Incorrect info.
The result, at least for travelers from Europe means that the cost of the flight (booking today) is 3 times in economy (about 2.500 euros), double in business (about 7.000 euros). Not really aceptable. I’m not sure if such cost increase is the same traveling from other regions, but for sure many europeans may fail to attend Brisbane if they have traveling cost restrictions.
When there is such issue as a venue not signing (or breaking) the contract, we must have an alternative, even if it is Minneapolis or whatever, that doesn’t increase the cost for the participants and even if it means we change the rotation plan.
If we don’t have another global crisis that severely limits global travel then things should work smoothly in future.

My (running) hash charges for first-time attendees, but it's free for the
second time. This is to encourage people to return.
Make one of the meetings decentralized. Held simultaneously in multiple
places around the globe. Getting the logistics and timezones equitable
will be hard, but it would also greatly reduce our CO2 usage.
manycouches started this discussion, and a conclusion was that we should add
a fourth meeting that was fully-online, and then maybe we can step down the
three.
