Dear all, I think it's very good that we are discussing this issue, but I am afraid that we'll not come to a conclusion unless we (further) develop a framework and process to facilitate the decision making. draft-baker-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process-02 is a good start but as this discussion shows, several things have not taken into consideration. I think it would be good to define additional criteria we would like the IAOC to consider. Some of the things that have been brought up are: * the impact the legal environment has on participants * the impact the social environment has on participants * the impact the legal environment has on participants partners and/or children * the impact the social environment has on participants partners and/or children * the signal IETF is sending with holding a meeting in a specific country (both positive and negative) * the level of human rights abuses in a selected country (there are no countries with no violations, but some countries violations are definitely more grave than others, and some countries are on a more positive path than others) I hope this helps. Best, Niels PS In the discussion on access to IETF meetings a thing that gets discussed less so (AFAIK) are the meeting fees, which are really quite high if you're not funded by your employer. A programme to wave the fees for say 10 participants per meeting might be also be a constructive addition, even though out of the scope of this discussion.
