My understanding (forgive me if I am confused) is that the point was, 
Hiroshima was more aware of, and more accommodating to, the IETF than Tokyo 
would likely have been; Vienna, Prague, Stockholm and Maastricht were more 
aware of, and more accommodating to, the IETF than Paris and London were ...

Not that any of these places were SMALL, but that they were smaller than 
some of the obvious BIG places that we could have gone to, in the same 
region.

I think that sounds about right.
