Re: [Recentattendees] IAOC Requesting Input on Additional (Potential) Future Meeting Cities

["Rgd.ietf" <rgd.ietf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ted,

Two comments:

1. We are asking about Dublin in general and not any specific hotel - so while you can and should submit comments about a particular hotel venue, also consider the broader question about Dublin regardless of the  hotel the meeting might be at as we may go to another one.

2. To have comments collected and used in the process send them to the Venue-selection@xxxxxxxx email, one city per email and with the city in the subject line, not ietf@xxxxxxxx.

Quick process question.  We've been to both Stockholm (twice!) and Dublin before (and AFAIK no disqualifiers) so why were they included if the list is about expanding the set of cities to be considered?   Or are you soliciting input as to whether things have changed?

There was a lot of complaining about both venues.   I would not want to go back to the Dublin venue without a rental car—it was in the middle of nowhere with no food except a carvery.   Delightful.

I thought the Stockholm venue was delightful, but some felt it wasn't cold enough—there was a _lot_ of complaining about it.   I think the HVAC was actually quite a bit better than e.g. the Berlin venue, which nevertheless is a venue I'd like to see again.
