How do you think it could/should be taken into account ?

E.g.: i don't think we even had a chance to take
"average air travel time" into account in selecting IETF locations -
amongst all the other competing selection criterias.

At best it sounds as if we could accept more locations as
candidate locations, even if they are not e.g.: mayor hub airport
cities. We've done that some times times in the past: Maastricht,
Berlin, Hiroshima, Hawaii. So not sure if/how we could go any
further.

The way i understand it, the overwhelming limiter is the
conference hotel with many small meeting rooms and total number
of rooms desired. AFAIK, that is what had us exclude a higher variety
of locations. For example, Vienna only got back onto our agenda
because we knew we wouldn't have that many in-person attendants
this time that we would have had to go back to the conference
center - without attached hotel, which was not liked by many
attendants.
