FWIW - if this is the case, this policy is in the disadvantage of the participants coming from out of North America for both IEEE and IETF meetings.

Having the IEEE and IETF meetings scheduled in consecutive weeks is more convenient.
Let me second this - different meetings on adjacent dates are good *if* they are geographically close and thus eliminate or reduce travel.
And this in independent of which country you are based in - adjacent meetings in, say, Europe, reduce travel for North Americans, too.
