| Thank you all for your interest in and suggestions regarding meeting venue selection.
I have issued RFPs for North American IETF meetings to the Hilton Minneapolis many times over the past 15 years but unfortunately, each time, they were already booked. It seems that the IETF is not the only group that finds this venue attractive. I will continue to keep Minneapolis in mind for the IETF North American events.

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! -Ben
