Is the question really, should NANOG be held outside the US/Canada? I put the answer to that as Yes. There is no reason why NANOG should continue to be held in the US/Canada. As for 'getting' approval, why should it matter if NANOG is held in St. Louis, Toronto or the DR? Maybe people worried

all, LACNIC is not the equivalent of NANOG any more than ARIN is. According to http://lacnic.net/en/sobre-lacnic/cobertura/ index.html, LACNIC covers Mexico. If a meeting were suggested in Mexico, would you say NANOG should not meet there because LACNIC has meetings there?
