This whole development is about as surreal as it gets - arguably the result of the politicization of the IETF (and probably being subsidized by ORG domain money). This activity should be run by a business manager - as it was in the old days. Having intersected with the IETF and its precursors since the 1970s, the interesting side question is whether the IETF will live to celebrate a 150th meeting, or it is in the throes of extinction. Would make for an interesting dialog as the rapidly expanding NFV-SDN universe continues to emerge. --tony ps. Have had innumerable positive reactions to the CircleID article. But that's probably to be expected. On 2016-05-26 4:21 PM, Margaret Cullen

And then considering that feedback _before_ making a final decision, signing a contract, etc? It seems to me that if this issue had been raised before the IAOC had made a non-refundable $80K deposit and had negotiated $150K in benefits from the Singapore government, there would have been a lot more latitude for choosing a different location.
