The "ideal" venue (if there is such a thing) would enable both: - good participation from WG primary contributors AND - lots of local participation The second factor is important, imho, because a fraction of local newbies are going to be impressed by their IETF experience, and will want to participate again in the future. The may well become primary contributors themselves down the road.
Is that hope for future participation by new attendees an acceptable basis for making venue choices that hurt current participation by primary contributors? What is the evidence that we will not gain that new participation without hurting current participation by primary contributors?
