I would also like to suggest that the ability of certain members to bring their family on a vacation that coincides with an IETF should not be a governing factor in venue selection. Many people like to launder a business trip into a family vacation (myself included!) but that's not why the IETF exists and it should have no bearing on where we meet.
I tend to agree with that. If some of our regular participants cannot attend themselves because of some (in my view) weird laws in a country, then I agree we should avoid such country. But if the problem is that a family member cannot accompany the participant, then I think that is a thing we can consider, but it should not be a determining factor for having a meeting at that place or not. Just my opinion. Bert
