With no hats, Contrary to some commenters, I don't believe the conduct of the host government is relevant to venue selection, except to the extent it prevents us from doing our jobs (including our day jobs, which requires a VPN). The three "not met" assessments, to the extent they are accurate, would support not recommending Istanbul. However, the assessment acknowledges significant uncertainty, and I believe Istanbul is a promising enough site to warrant further investigation of these points. In particular, one comment suggests that the VPN situation is not so dire, which would dramatically improve prospects for meeting there. I have no special information on conditions in Istanbul, but I would be extremely surprised if the situation for female or religious travelers is as severe as our sources indicate they are for residents.
