Re: IETF Meeting Venue Selection Criteria

[Avri Doria <avri at acm.org>]

Hi,

I think there needs to be some mention of requirements such as:

- MUST NOT be held in a country whose visa requirements are so  
stringent as to make it impossible or even extremely difficult for  
some participant to attend.

- MUST NOT be held in a country with restrictions on freedom of  
expression, especially if these extend to the blocking of web sites  
or any other censuring of personal communications.

- MUST NOT be held in a country were local participants would be  
under pressure to support national technical policies on threat of  
imprisonment or other punitive actions, for their opinions.

- MUST NOT be held in a country were local participants would need  
government approval to attend.

a.
