Given that we have over 1,000 people coming into each venue, it seems odd to expect everyone to rent cars and otherwise go somewhere that is relatively remote from other services. IMHO, ideal venues are in city centers, where people can walk from the venue to a wide variety of other hotels and restaurants, and where public transportation is available to connect between airports and regional rail systems and to other parts of the venue's city. This tends to decrease the travel costs and hassles for attendees, among other benefits. Jason _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
