Dear colleagues,

I note that there is a WG, MTGVENUE, that is working on criteria for
meeting venues.  It seems to me that discussing the overall question
of specific exclusions at a venue for individuals on the basis of some
set of class properties (whether it be nationality, religion, choices
in emotional relationships, or whatever) would be appropriate in that
WG.  Moreover, since the WG hasn't finished its work perhaps the WG
list would be better to explore the issue than the IETF list.

Best regards,

A
