[ripe-list] choosing locations for RIPE meetings

Clearly what is missing there is something ensuring the “wide” participation from all the RIPE region countries, disallowing locations that will be of great trouble for people to attend, not restricting access to any specific country, allowing freedom of speech and freedom of Internet access. Meeting in a country that do any kind of Internet filtering should discard that location.

I suggest, instead of working in something new, looking at the IETF documents, as they may be a starting point.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-palet-ietf-meeting-venue-selection-criteria-04

Actual work is under a new WG:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mtgvenue/about/

Regarding technical requirements:

    I don’t believe so. IIRC there have been discussions from time to time about producing such a document and they never went anywhere.
    
    
    
    
    The location of RIPE meetings are chosen according to the process described at:
    
    https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-location-selection-process
    
    
    The page links to a document describing the requirements.
    
    Improvement suggestions are as always welcome.
    
    As to the particular requirements for the upcoming meeting in Dubai, UAE, the requirements were not know to us, nor the local host at the time the decision was made. It would definitely been taken into consideration had it been known.
