Those aren't the only criteria. Try finding a place in Europe that can fit our plenary and ALSO house the number of WG meetings we have. That ain't easy. I've said this privately and I guess I'll say it publicly. I'm no fan of CityWest. But... It's Ray's job to make the call. It's the IAOC's job to see that he does his job well. I think Ray has at least earned the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps this is best viewed retrospectively since contracts are signed?
