Old:

   Currently, the IETF meets in North America, Europe, and Asia,
   approximately once a year in each region.

New:

   Currently, the IETF meets in North America, Europe, and Asia.  The
   intention is to meet once a year in each region, although due to scheduling
   issues there are often more meetings in North America and fewer in Asia.

R's,
