The relatively recent change in policy is to average one meeting in each 
region every year.  The current departure from that policy is due to 
logistics and cost issues, not a change in policy.

Hence, possible language could be:

    The IETF policy is to meeting in each region once a year, as possible.

Or the like.

ps.  this note is a personal offering, not an IAOC one.
