We've got 1200 attendees. That's a lot of folk who have differing ideas of what is important. 2) There is no perfect solution. There are too many variables, not all of which are known in advance. And, everyone weighs various factors differently. Convenience of travel, for instance, is very different for US-based folk vs. Chinese and Australians. 3) The absolutely most important thing to get right is a meeting venue that works for getting work done. In my mind, the really key things here are: a) everyone can (easily) walk to the meeting site (this facilitates mingling, including at the bar) b) there is ample local food within walking distance (again for mingling/meetings) c) proper facilities (adequate meeting room, wireless, range of room rate options, and yes, I suppose cookies, etc.) If you get the above right, the other inconveniences don't matter (except maybe visa hassles). Or more precisely, folk can (and just should) deal with it. Seriously, taking one extra plane hop (or gasp! riding a train!) is just noise, when talking about a meeting that lasts 5+ solid days. I'd much rather take an extra hop to get to a meeting venue that works well, then save a few hours travel time to reach a venue that doesn't have places to eat. Etc. Hub cities are no panacea. I too like Minneapolis. As a venue, it meets the key IETF needs as better than most places we've visited. It has good airline connectivity (not perfect, but good). It meets the key criteria above. You can also walk everywhere underground in the winter, so the argument that it's "too cold" seems specious. Etc. But does everyone like Minneapolis? Apparently not. I'm told that the IAOC has stopped going there because they were getting too many complaints. People do get tired of going to the same places, even if a location works. I've concluded that going to new places is better than hubs. Even though I rarely take vacation in conjunction with meetings, getting 1/2 a day to sight see or even being able to walk into town for dinner in a new location is a positive thing over being at the same places too often.
