Re: [72attendees] Some thanks (was: 72nd - T-shirt Pick Up)

Seem that many of the more justified issues are stemming from the site 
remoteness as dietary restriction issues and people that wanted other 
hotels and had to commute one hour a day twice.

Dietary issues could have been solved in remote site with more awareness 
not sure if the issue of other hotels could have been solved.

Maybe the registration of the IETF should be enhanced to provide more 
feedback on dietary needs so the organizers can estimate the needs. The 
registration site can also be enhanced so people can indicate the meetings 
that the want to attend and their priority for attending the meeting. This 
can help to avoid conflicts in scheduling meeting time.

Exactly. Just as an example of my bigger issue: Not being able to get
reasonable hot water in the bathroom for a week, and not having got a
reasonable solution from the hotel, and having got a cold because that (as 
I
really want to shower every morning and every night even with cold water 
if
no other way), is a very valid complain.

I really think it is stupid to ignore this kind of issue and even more 
silly
to keep saying "everything was wonderful". And I decided to send that to 
the
list unless I really saw there was no other way to sort out directly with
the hotel in the expectation that someone from the organization will push
them, indeed I got private messages of other folks with the same problem.

And please, note that despite some other folks perceptions, and don't use
those messages as complains, moreover as a mean to show what I believe is
not good enough, so we can correct it, either this time or next one.

I never said the meeting was not productive, but the number of cons,
compared with previous events, at least for me, was really *high*.

Regards,
Jordi
