Comparing with the ITU who does tour the world, organizing workshops in far away places, I really think we should be trying a little harder to be more open.
It's important to distinguish between a 'workshop' and a 'working meeting' where decisions are made.
As I understand the ITU's operation, all of the ITU-T formal decisions are made in Geneva. Any meetings held before that and seeming to make decisions can be reversed during a Geneva session, in my direct experience.
Also, ISOC actually seems to do a pretty good job of showing up in many places around the world, on the IETF's behalf, including events that can be called workshops.
