Let's assume that the crypto regulations are a red herring as far as Paris is concerned. I'd like to state the obvious - every location we choose for an IETF is a compromise. Jordi Palet took on the job of writing a first draft of site selection criteria. Things like visa requirements and crypto regulations should surely figure in that, and so should travel time, weather, etc. But we have to give a lot of weight to meeting facilities and the budget, as well.

I'm not sure what you think the misunderstanding is. That people are often self-interested and prefer to minimize travel time? I doubt that's a misunderstanding at all.
I don't agree with this assessment. I think that if the decision where to continue the North American meeting allocation, just requiring them all to be in Canada, most of the complaints would come from people in the US and not from Europeans even though the US travel time would still be optimized.
