Tom, the overlap with school holidays might be true from some perspective, but the two countries (Sweden and Philippines) I'm most familiar with show that if there is a goal to avoid that it is not doable. In Sweden there is school holidays from around June 10th and into August. In the Philippines the school starts around June 10th. /Loa On 2012-09-07 13:42, t.p. wrote:
We seem to have adopted a policy of making the summer meeting overlap what is for me the start of school holidays, and a time to avoid travelling. I used to think of IETF54, IETF57 and IETF66 as the norm and anything else as an aberration, but now it seems the reverse is true. Incidentally, I notice that we are now staying well away from that other holiday season, sometimes known in the Western world as 'Easter', which seems prudent.
