Yes, I agree. It seems that it has occured since we started booking the events many years in advance. When we booked at the last minute, and didn't know even where the meeting was going to be more than two IETFs in advance, the room rates were better.

It's more than that, but until we have this fixed, we can't know how much more. -- ] He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life! | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] m...@sandelman.ottawa.on.ca http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/ |device driver[ Kyoto Plus: watch the video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzx1ycLXQSE> then sign the petition. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
