I don't know how much the IETF LLC plans to spend for investigation of new
cities, but the previous IAOC spent some significant effort investigating new
locations.

So, of course, we'll have to add if we see that we are losing things.
This is not a straight-jacket, but rather, a policy statement that we prefer
returning to known-good places.

Some SDOs just keep going back to exactly the same 3-4 places. Period.
IEEE 802 has some set pattern, I think.
