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.

I agree Easter is a date to avoid, but am not offering which way to move the meeting. April 3rd of later seems interesting, but does start to impact the interval between this meeting and the summer one.
