We can have successful meetings in Canada or other places in North America. Note, in picking venue locations in North America outside of the US, it important to pick locations that don’t require transit in the US. In the list, I think Ottawa is fine, but not sure about Calgary. Bob > > Please send input to venue-selection@xxxxxxxx.
