I do note that it seems clear that registration is related to where we meet. That show up pretty clearly the current data. So judging where to have future meetings based on past participation will tend to keep us where we used to meet. Nomcom is, as you point out, 3 of 5 meetings. WG chair and authors might have a longer history. I think an important part of the meeting rotation is to equalize the travel cost/pain for most attendees. This would point to actual current attendance more than say w.g. chairs.
