That is why I said "a little marginal". If it were not for fairly easy ground connections from major airports in the Los Angeles area, "marginal" would have been too charitable. Given the breakdown of advance planning and arrangements during the Secretariat transition period, I think the Secretariat and IASA deserve a little slack for a meeting or two, but I would hope that careful attention would be paid to the airport issue as future sites are evaluated. john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
