Hi Bob,
Is there any way to broaden the scope of IAOC choice and provide the
candidate locations which would meet IETF criteria by any IETF member ?
For example once I know the criteria I could check around in Poland to
see if there is any place which would satisfy the future IETF venue.
I am sure friends from South America would be glad to conduct similar
local research in their neighborhood. So would others from other
continents.
Are the criteria for IETF meetings published or is this some sort of top
secret (for example how much the venue may cost) ?
Could we all contribute via a wiki page ? Could we make the IETF choice
of location an open process ?
Thx,
R.

The IAOC seriously investigated a venue in South America for IETF92,
but based on the data we collected it did not meet the criteria for
IETF meetings. We are continuing to talk with the group that
suggested the venue and are also looking at other venues in that
region for future meetings.
We have open meeting slots in 2015-2017.
