Jari, OK. But the analysis is correct here the bottom line is we are stuck in remote place for example if you had a meeting in the business section of Paris or Washington D.C. your options would be less out of the IETF but this is even more intense being remote. Sure there are options I have checked. Travel. Be good to have IETF bus for those that don't have the funds for taxi or car rentals. Typically these type of locations are used by orgs that want to isolate their teams for a business meeting that should not be the strategy of the IAOC as input. /jim > -----Original Message----- > From: Jari Arkko [mailto:jari.arkko@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 12:15 PM > To: Bound, Jim > Cc: IETF Discussion > Subject: Re: IETF 72 --> Dublin! > > Jim, > > > Your authoritarian tone is not pleasing at least how I take > it.
