We still seem to be constantly wandering into hotels for the first time, and somehow it's hard to believe that that doesn't cost the IETF a premium, if only in staff time learning the new place, especially for the net ops folk. I even wonder whether repeating among a small set of venues would not also lead to some relationship building between the different staffs, thereby making everything go a lot more smoothly?

Well, that at least in part is what has led us to Minneapolis every two years or so, and to do a repeat at San Diego. It has historically been difficult, as we have wanted hosts to help us with certain costs, and they don't want to sign up every other year, and our practice of not signing up a long time in advance has also impeded that - they're often busy on the dates we pick. Pushing contracts further out should help with the latter.

One question I would ask the peanut gallery is: if we were to pick a small set of venues to return to, which would we pick? The ones I might think of would include our recent venues in Paris and Prague, the Minneapolis Hilton, the facility we were at in Dallas last year (although restaurants weren't very convenient), the conference center and hotels we used in Yokohama, and maybe a few others. Which venues seemed to "work" from various folks' perspectives? Which really didn't?

On this, if folks send me the response privately, I will summarize to the list. I really am interested in the response, but we probably don't need a DOS attack on all of our mail servers.
