RE: A brief update on IETF 103

Hi,

 

Is it possible to give more details regarding the problem implementing the IETF network? Does it e.g., prevent remote participation?

 

If not, perhaps it’s something we could live with for one meeting, considering the timing issue.

 

Regards,

 

Christer

Hi,

Yes. A review of other known sites in Asia hasn’t revealed availability on our dates. And opportunities are closing everywhere, as we are very close to meeting time (from the standpoint of planning and contracting).

Our first preference (and hope) is still to get things worked out as originally planned. If not, we’ll fall back to making sure there is a venue for the meeting somewhere, and then we can look at rebalancing geographic distribution if we can (i.e., swapping Asia in at a later point in our cycle).

To reiterate: our first preference and hope is to get things worked out as originally planned.

Leslie.

Hi,

To be clear, "In other geographic areas" means "outside Asia"?

Thanks,

The IAOC would like to update the community on the planning for IETF 103.

The IAOC approved negotiations with a venue in October of last year, but these have not yet resulted in a workable contract. In particular, we have experienced some difficulty in securing agreement to implement the IETF network, as described in the MANDATORY requirements of the MTGVENUE requirements document (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process). While we continue to work with the planned venue, and are hopeful we will soon be able to report success, we are also now exploring fallbacks, possibly in other geographic areas.

We regret that the timing of this continues to slip, and we will continue to work to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Leslie Daigle, for the IAOC.
