Thank you. I think there's probably always either a major holiday somewhere or another conference that the IETF wants to avoid conflicting with, so avoiding significant holidays in all parts of the world is not a practical pursuit. The goal of this date change proposal seems to be to avoid holding an IETF when there is a major travel disruption, or days when travel and other public services are shut down, in the place where the IETF meeting is to be held. IETF 95 lists "target location: Europe", and holding a meeting in Europe overlapping with Easter would probably cause challenges. However, I do wonder how major a holiday this is? While there are parts of the world where it would not be challenging to hold an IETF meeting over Christmas, international organizations with major US+Europe participation seem to avoid doing so nonetheless. Is this one a special case of similar magnitude? Searching the web suggests that it may be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingming_Festival Since I'm not planning to attend in person, I'll keep my comments general. -- Cos
