The selection of meeting venues for our physical meetings is a common area of discussion at the IETF and feedback for the IAOC and its meeting committee. Contributors from the IAOC meetings committee have produced an initial version of a document that specifies the venue selection process and criteria. With community discussion and agreement such a document will be very helpful in improving the process and ensuring that the relevant criteria are properly identified. The selection process itself has and may further evolve as part of the community discussion. For instance, due to recent discussions, potential future destinations are announced to the community to help identify potential issues early. These processes and criteria support the overall IETF meeting strategy. The IETF complements its mostly online work with three physical meetings each year, obviously for the purpose of the standards development work but also for the opportunities for high-bandwidth collaboration, cross-pollination of ideas, and focusing on running code. Current policy explicitly intends to rotate meeting locations equally among the largest sources of IETF participants, currently North America, Europe, and Asia/ Australia, while reserving a possibility for exceptions, such as meetings outside those regions. The rationale is to meet in different locations globally in order to spread the pain and cost of travel among the participants. The rotation policy, known as 1-1-1* model, was set by the IESG, documented in https://iaoc.ietf.org/minutes/2010-11-10-iaoc-minutes.txt. The MTGVENUE working group is the forum where the IETF community can discuss and agree on what should go into the overall policies, the selection process, and the detailed criteria. All criteria, the process, and the overall policy are open for discussion. The purpose of the working group is to produce a community consensus documents that help drive the meeting selection process in a manner that the community is comfortable with. The working group shall produce two outputs: 1. An RFC that specifies the overall IETF meeting policy, currently described as the “1-1-1*” policy. 2. An RFC that describes the detailed meeting venue selection process and criteria. The starting point for this work is draft-baker-iaoc-venue-selection-process. Both documents are expected to be Best Current Practice (BCP) documents. The documents are expected to provide clear guidance to meeting selections, be implementable in our operating environment, and take into account the needs of the highly diverse IETF community.
