[Venue-selection] Call for input: Venue assessment reports for Cairns, Brisbane and Melbourne

[Mehmet Ersue <[e-mail]>]

Concerning the requested Community input on the assessment reports and
recommendations:

I couldn't find essential criteria for the selection of future meeting venue
in the city reports:
- whether there is an international airport as a big hub enabling people to
travel in from international cities with long haul flights.
- whether there is convention center which is near to downtown providing
sufficient amount of lunch possibilities AND dinner restaurants.
- whether there are huge hotels near to the convention center enabling
people coming together at one place for essential lobby gathering and
breakfast meetings.

One feedback I have on the reports is that there are many aspects discussed
on the country but just a little on the city.
As a matter of fact all country questions for the 3 cities got the same
answer.

Concerning the city recommendation I believe Melbourne is the best choice
because of:
- big hub international airport 
- convention center near to downtown 
- huge hotels near to the convention center 

Cheers,
Mehmet
