Re: Hyatt Taipei cancellation policy?

If we use actual *attendance* as a form of voting, Minneapolis would lose big time.

According to the stats, since IETF-1, there have been 6 IETF meetings in Minneapolis.  Every one of them had significantly lower number of participants than the meeting before and after them... except IETF-44 which was lower than IETF-43 but about the same as IETF-45, but IETF-45 was in Oslo, Norway, and IETF-46 went back up to higher levels again.

I am also a fan of Minneapolis for meetings - the facilities at the Hilton are perfect for our needs.  There's lots of food options.  It has good air connections and there is decent pubic transport from the airport to the city.  However, this seems to be a minority perspective. If we were to do votes again, the results might be interesting.

I am with you on that. I do not attend IETFs as a vacation and sight-seeing
opportunity.

Yes, I too go to work, and would rate Minneapolis in the top three, with Atlanta
perhaps just above it.
