With the exception that Minneapolis is a NW/KLM hub, and there are
some international flights that land there, Ottawa and Minneapolis are
basically both 1 hour flight from a major hub.
Ottawa: Toronto (air canada)
Chicago (united, american)
Pittsburgh (U-scare)
Newark (Continental)
Detroit (Northwest)
Minneapolis: Toronto (air canada, NW. 1.5 hours)
Chicago
Denver
St.Louis (is it still a hub?)
Northwest hub
Also, many of the european airlines fly into Montreal with a dedicated
shuttle to ottawa.
The only obvious hotel that is right-sized is the westin+congress
centre. There are other choices, including one corner with four hotels
on it, and enough conference space, but we'd be slightly split up.
There is a group that is trying to host fall-NANOG/ARIN 2005 in Ottawa.
That's about half the size of IETF, but otherwise has similar
requirements.
