Re: Meetings in other regions

[Edward Lewis <Ed.Lewis at neustar.biz>]

If the IETF is trying to promote the Internet (as ICANN does), then 
holding meetings where participants aren't generally from is a step 
in spreading the Internet.

If the IETF is meant to be a bare-bones, get engineering work done, 
it ought to be in the most cost effective location.  For what ever 
formulation of cost effective.

If the IETF is to be both, we have to compromise.

"Cost effective" is relative.  I was asked what that meant to me: it 
means least transit time from my couch to the hotel registration 
desk.  I know that's not generalizable - as no one else travels from 
my couch to the IETF.
