That is why I said "a little marginal".   If it were not for
fairly easy ground connections from major airports in the Los
Angeles area, "marginal" would have been too charitable.

Given the breakdown of advance planning and arrangements during
the Secretariat transition period, I think the Secretariat and
IASA deserve a little slack for a meeting or two, but I would
hope that careful attention would be paid to the airport issue
as future sites are evaluated.
