Marshall,
I also do not believe that the IETF needs to violate this condition to
do its business.
However, in this case there are two aspects out of control:
1) The IETF participants may have a different interpretation of the
condition than you and I have.
2) The people running the place may have a different interpretation of
the condition than you and I have.
I have lived close enough to what was the GDR for long enough to know
that 2 is an extremely uncontrollable problem.
(And I have been in the IETF long enough to think that 1 isn't much
more controllable.)
China certainly deserves to host a meeting.
Has the SAR (Hong Kong) been considered?
Gruesse, Carsten
