But at least this venue is not "as difficult as possible".

For comparison, consider Mar del Plata, Argentina, the venue for the 
April 2005 ICANN meeting[2].  It's 400km from Buenos Aires[1].

There is a train from Buenos Aires.  It takes 5.5 hours[1].

Aerolineas runs one or two flights a day (in the off season) from 
Buenos Aires' Arpt. Jorge Newbery (AEP).  But international flights 
arrive at EZE, which means there's a long surface transfer involved in 
you want to fly.

Or you can drive.  Or take the bus.

Besides, July is a lovely time to visit the Netherlands.  :-)
