Maybe the story that URL points to is not the one you intended, or I am missing something here, or misinterpreting. In which case I apologise in advance. > http://www.startribune.com/stories/368/5217727.html So the trains have to slow down for a minute or two. Your point is? Why has it become the in-thing to find any little niggle against the places the meetings are being arranged in? An exceptional summer two years ago in Paris, a small leak in a tunnel. The fact that some places are in the US. The fact that others aren't. I'm not in the US, but if IETF meetings were to cycle between Salt Lake City, Minneapolis and some other place for the rest of time it wouldn't bother me too much. Given how many people find it difficult to leave the hotel for the week of the meeting, I'm suprised anybody really cares where the meetings actually are. I'd like to thank Foretec and the secretariat for all the work that goes into the meetings. It must be tough trying to keep even some of us happy some of the time. :-) Regards, Rob _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
