The IETF Administration LLC recently sought feedback from the community on the possibility of holding an IETF Meeting in the cities of Beijing, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, and Shenzhen. The feedback received included views that were well expressed and well argued but were strongly conflicting. The IETF LLC considered this feedback in-depth and sought feedback on a proposed response. This post sets out the IETF LLC position on this consultation and the next steps for these potential venues.
