I aggree fully here.
I think it's a simple answer of "share the burden fair".
Do 3 different continents a year to give everyone an equal opportunity
to attend, and equal burden of getting there.

It might also help to decrease the number of ignorant mails on this
lists that sugest that culture outside North America is strange by
default.
It helps people from that area to remind that others might have the same
view about their own habbits and learn there is an outside world for
everyone that should be taken into considderation when cooperating in
something global as the IETF.
