        having hosted an IETF, i'll make the comment that i -really- wanted a
document like this as a "handbook" of things to expect.  But that was back in 
the
day...  I wrote up some notes and passed them on to the next local host.  a few 
mtgs later, Mark Prior ran into some of the same concerns when he hosted an 
IETF.
and so a few of us who -had- hosted IETF mtgs got together and wrote up an ID on
hosting requirements.  That draft went 'round the IESG a couple times and then 
died
a quiet death.   And rightly so.  Such a document is not w/in the IETF remit of 
defining
Internet Protocols.   So i really understand why you too, would like to see 
something
like this be in the IETF archives.... but it is NOT in the remit of the IETF as 
I understand
it.  However, the IETF of today is clearly NOT the IETF i spent time with, so 
things
could have changed.
