Re: [117attendees] Making meeting attendance more affordable

Actually, the main reason was that a certain person hated Minneapolis

and swore we would never go back.

If we could get a long-term deal with the Hilton Group, we could

probably return to the Hilton Minneapolis. The venue is still large

enough to hold an IETF meeting I think. Worth looking into, Jay and

Co.

The explanation I heard is a combination of the venues getting clued in to the
fact that we kept coming back so much and thereby demanding more money, and
some amount of us outgrowing the venues.

But I am sad that I didn't get to attend any Minneapolis IETFs -- I heard such
good things!
