On June 21st the IAOC solicited feedback on whether people perceive any reasons we could not have a successful meeting in London. Input was received from a community member about four concerns about a specific venue, which is in fact the venue chosen. We wanted to be clear that the input was considered, and here is how we addressed the points: 1. Hotel rooms were in poor condition and overpriced. Hotel contract negotiations produced a mix of rooms with the majority of the rooms being in the refurbished tower and a smaller number of rooms, not recently refurbished, but at a reduced guest room rate. Attendees can make their own choice about whether they wish to take the reduced rate or avoid the unrefurbished rooms. 2. Hotel navigation was confusing. Better signage and a second time familiarity with the venue by some should improve the attendee experience. 3. Some of the meeting rooms were semi-functional Staff experience with London at IETF 89 and since should result in a better experience. 4. The neighborhood was only tolerable Some of the issue of the neighborhood was due to construction at the time of our last meeting at the venue. We expect there have been improvements. The IAOC did review the feedback as part of its decision process and determined that, while recognizably not everyone’s venue, it is a suitable location for holding a successful IETF 101 meeting. the IETF could have a successful meeting in the London.
