Hi,

I think I am somewhat confused by this discussion.

In one place you say:

The IETF should indeed meet where our participants come from. That was my initial comment (from the mike) on "are we from Latin America, Africa, or Antarctica?" I think that remains to be shown.



and in another:

from the norht american stats. I would encourage you to compare the european and asiapac meetings, from the proceedings. My observation is that the region/country the meeting happens in tends to be exaggerated. Yokohama, for example, was 1977 folks, of which 1/4 were US and perhaps 40% were Japanese. Seoul was similar.

so does this mean that when the meeting is in NA, then the NA population is also exaggerated.

Or rather that a large number of participants will come from whatever region the meeting is in (at least for the NA, EU, or Asiapac regions - we have no evidence on LAC or Africa), giving us no objective criteria for weighing one region over another.

If this holds, don't we have a parity situation where the meetings should alternate equally between these 3 regions with maybe an occasional meeting in a developing area, like an easy to get to region in Africa or LAC.

a.
