Re: [Ietf-community-india] Fw: [Recentattendees] BANGKOK SELECTED FOR IETF 103

Absolutely agree to Carsten and Fred.

We need to spot a decent venue 

1)  in a city which has at least good single hop connectivity to major airport transit points;
2) which should be easily accessible from the airport;
3) surrounded with a combo of five star to budget hotels (3 star  standards) with easy access to/ from the venue (means, enough public  transport should be accessible just outside the venue without relying  much on Internet taxi booking/ radio taxis) ;
4) with an attached five start facility to host important people attending the meeting;
5) able to host at least a 1000 heads for the plenary with decent audio visual and acoustics and also with enough smaller rooms to allow nearly 40 parallel WG meetings and ISOC functionalities;
6) with decent affordable and hygienic food joints close by; 
7) in an area which is low on pollution;
8) with decent nearby place where you can host a social event at an affordable price; (optional)
9) in a city with well connected public transport and not too congested to make you scared to move few kilometers away;
10) with some decent spots near by and also in surroundings for site seeing and tourist activities (optional but preferred);
11) in a city which is safe for people to roam around.  

Does the above list sound good?

And it shouldn't require a three day horseback ride to get from the airport to the hotel. We had a lot of grief over Hiroshima because after flying to Osaka one had to take a high speed train. Think about driving across Bangalore..

(And, of course, the city that one is in needs to be reachable without a three-day horseback ride, and needs to have enough hotels to house all the IETFers, but I think that&#8217;s rather easy to meet in India.)
