Folks who have read ietf mailing lists for awhile might have noticed that it's 
distinctive when John Klensin and I agree and, therefore, probably worth taking 
as significant.  The joke is old enough to have gotten stale, but it's still true.

However, that's nothing compared with the number of times I agree with Randy.

This is one of them.

Surely there is enough choice in venue to permit a global organization like the 
IETF to select ones that put some effort into being friendly about participation 
by people from a wider set of countries?
