I think all these models that are based on where we are from are really beside the point as where we are from really doesn't necessarily have any connection with where we like to go. My preference is to pick meeting sides that have the right capacity for the IETF meeting and the right infrastructure for a good meeting, are relatively easy to get to and allow for reasonable attendance cost for my employer. It is totally fine by me if that means that we end up more often in Asia if it happens to be easier to get larger venues at a decent price. Quite frankly, whether my air travel is a few hours more or less is really not that important in the grander scheme of things especially if the resulting venue is an excellent and cost effective location with a supportive local organization team. At the same time, I expect that the IAOC is made up of intelligent people and that they wouldn't go completely overboard and have each and every meeting in only one part of the world. Do we really need these kind of rigid rules ? David Kessens --- _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
