I think they are very cheap all the year ;-) > I don't want to go there in August. Well having the meetings in the hotel, with air condition is not a problem, but is nice July/August because: 1) You want to go out for dinner and have a nice weather 2) You can take the advantage to travel with family or whatever and have vacations afterwards ;-) > > I'm hoping for Madrid in March 2005, Vancouver in August 2005 (yes, a > host has to be found.

Both locations work for November very well) If we have a decision RIGHT NOW, I can still try to arrange for March 2005, but timing is becoming VERY tight. > > JORDI> So it was a kind of excuse ? > > JORDI> By the way, the hotel has free IPv6 connectivity in every > JORDI> room, since we installed it in May 2003 (first one in the > JORDI> world as I know). > > Cool. Does it have IPv4? It would be cool if it is *didn't* :-) Sorry, I can't satisfy 100% your demand here, but I can tell you that the IPv4 connectivity is NATed (and broken because a very nasty Nomadix box). But of course we can provide public IPv4 addresses for the meeting (unless we decide to make it only IPv6, which I will be happy to do !). > > JORDI> PS: And yes, we of course plan to provide a nice t-shirt ! > > My wife isn't happy that I can go three weeks and wear only conference > T-shirts.

The solution is to bring your wife and have vacations after the meeting ;-) By the way, we have a very nice suggestion for the social, if you like art/painting. What about a dinner and private visit to the Prado museum ? > > - -- > ] "Elmo went to the wrong fundraiser" - The Simpson | firewalls [ > ] Michael Richardson, Xelerance Corporation, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ > ] mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/mcr/ |device driver[ > ] panic("Just another Debian GNU/Linux using, kernel hacking, security guy"); [ > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Finger me for keys > > iQCVAwUBQROofIqHRg3pndX9AQEPRwP+OGe4+kn+vBjUoGst6p1VAfM07WjJRyaR > cTy0DLSjgggOqoAbSKtXV+HUZ0qiqHC55T0YDKQwYtruwGUB62lhD8nfZKc7tgbk > q7v4ov/DrTJPuKwAoTU8SwYbB998+CBlBdFBA/ftMXhxu+PR8p7LnN7Ng1ZjOEEQ > kCXDNlgVN7s= > =df9A > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list > Ietf@xxxxxxxx > https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf > ********************************** Madrid 2003 Global IPv6 Summit Presentations and videos on line at: http://www.ipv6-es.com This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.
