Once upon a time,

random places, and the lion's share in the US. Those statistics are
essentially meaningless now.
Why are they meaningless? The IETF should overwhelmingly meet where
the participants are, wherever that might be. I still like your
algorithm.
I think he's saying the old heuristic is inaccurate because the
distribution of participants has changed. looking at the pie chart, the
US represents slight less than 50% of the participants and .jp .kr .cn
make up almost 1/4
