I personally avoid being away from home on Easter, and would prefer that the IETF meeting avoid it. Yes, Palm Sunday is a question, but not quite on the same scale as Easter. I will note, however, that Good Friday (the Friday before Easter) is a national holiday in a number of countries. People schedule vacations around that weekend. My suggestion: take the week of April 3 or later.
