Steve,
I think you may be right on that score. But I note that we have 3 times
as many folks coming the longer distance from Asia as are coming from
Europe and yet we have NEVER done an Asian plenary, so I think we need
to make that a priority over doing another plenary in Europe (we have
done 2 already).
Thus I personally believe that we are obligated start this nNA Venue
process in March 2011 with an Asian venue. They deserve at least that.
Other than that I think all five proposals are excellent in their own
right and that we should endeavor to book them all into a future slot at
some point.
I would personally like to lobby for the notion of doing Geneva in July
2013 when the weather and the scenery is most spectacular.
And I believe we will still be able to do University of Twente in July
2014 or 2015, if we so choose.
So those are my personal thoughts now I have to go back to being our
impartial proposal moderator. :-)
Thanx, Buzz

Buzz,
So 44% of the people are outside NA and travel here to attend
the 802 Plenary. That is a large number. If we start meeting outside
NA we might end up with over 50% of the participants from outside NA.
Interesting information.
Steve

Hi Paul, FYI- The attached shows the current distribution of Attendees
by Country and Region.
We should keep the numbers in mind as we consider our Non-North-American
Venues choices on Friday.
