how about the previous and next IETF meetings disqualify that 
location (and potentially each location). Something like that should 
work in favor of covering the currently least travelled to location 
(in theory).

I.e., last was Europe, next is West Coast NA, that means this interim 
must be on east coast NA (sorry Magnus  ;-)

perhaps this one ought to be that Europe now can't be for a year, 
because it is getting two RTCweb meetings in a row (Paris in March 
and Stockholm in June).
