On this subject, may I suggest that we have outgrown hotel conference
facilities.
The place where we have outgrown them is hallways -- hotel facilities simply
do not have adequate hallways to accommodate us. Much of the value of the
meeting
is the impromptu "BOF"s that occur in the hallways and other open areas.
At this particular meeting, we compounded the problem by putting food
service
in the MIDDLE of the hall. We also, in virtually the same area put the
registration area, causing close to illegal density of people. This is just
unacceptable.
