Ray,

Reflecting on the current discussion of hotels and observing
that several people have expressed concern about statements like
"can't do anything to change the policies or affect that date or
location because we are working three years out", does this
imply that you and the IAOC are making commitments we could not
change if we wanted to (even if circumstances changed) 5 1/2
years out.   I'm all in favor of pinning down dates well in
advance but, when we start talking about commitments to
"venues", it is a source of some small anxiety.
