Stewart,
Do we have any firm evidence that we would get more work
done if we had more meetings outside the US?
That is probably a non-question, isn't it?

Another data point might be...
In the CCAMP working group five editors or key authors of working group I-Ds
were unable to travel to Chicago (for whatever reason). All of these are
based outside the US.
One new non-WG draft had to be introduced by a friend because none of the
author team was able to travel.
That said, the hotel cost is as much of an issue for me. I continually have
to weigh up the convenience of staying in the host hotel, with the
exorbitant room rates. The 30% degradation of the US dollar over the last
six or seven years is a great help, but surely it would be even better to
pick a more reasonably priced hotel?
