Dave, how would it complicate the negotiation process to simply say "we are
considering the following cities for future IETFs: does anybody know of an
issue that they want to raise with any of these?"   We don't have to say
when, or how definite.   It's hard to see how this would cause
problems--can you explain?

I'm not objecting to just making an exhaustive list; I just am not
convinced that it would really make any difference, particularly since
things change.   E.g., I suspect that the IETF that was scheduled for
Charlotte, NC, is no longer in the offing... :}
