I have no issue with any of the cities above for future meeting sites, but I agree with the views that deferring future meetings in the US is prudent given the visa/entry issues.  We can have successful meetings in Canada or other places in North America.

Note, in picking venue locations in North America outside of the US, it important to pick locations that don’t require transit in the US.  In the list, I think Ottawa is fine, but not sure about Calgary.
