[ripe-list] choosing locations for RIPE meetings

Tanks for the references, I will study them with interest - and looking
forward to the outcome of the IETF process.

It is however worth considering that a meeting within the Schengen area
would probably not fulfil the requirements specified in your draft from
2006.

No matter how detailed specifications we make, somebody in the end have to
make a judgement call on where to go. In some cases the landscape changes
after the decision has been made. In such a case we must either live with
the new requirements, move or cancel the meeting. In most cases that may be
to late or to expensive.
