Re: IETF Meeting in South America

Joel,

This isn't 100% true. While our dates are not "fungible," we could 
*consider* a date move, say +/- a week *if* this would give us 
availability in a certain location. This would of course be the 
*exception* and not the rule (which you have correct), but *if* we 
found that, say, moving IETF 127 one week would make everything work 
perfectly, then, yes, we *could* do it. Of course, this would have to 
be done FAR in advance and with ample community input, just like we 
are doing for the South America survey.

(Recall some recent discussion about moving a meeting to avoid some 
holiday [Easter as I recall].)

But you are generally right: our dates are fixed for mostly all good
reasons, it's just that sometimes we find that this can also be to
our detriment. If we are looking ahead several years, I can well 
imagine some negotiation, say with an RIR meeting, etc, etc.
