Agreed, and I think the crux of the conversation underway is whether 
these guidelines are aspirational or mandatory. The introduction of 
meeting-policy makes it pretty clear that the document is an attempt to 
write down the currently-in-use informal policy rather than change it, 
and I believe that any citation of meeting-policy from venue-selection 
needs to make the aspirational nature of the 1-1-1-* policy clear 
(rather than, for example, using normative language, especially at a 
MUST level).
