I recommend you scroll back through your meeting archives to Paris, reread, and reconsider that statement in light of events as they transpired. Tegarding the incident of property crime in paris vs mastricht. I lost equipment out of the venue during the week of setup in the netherlands, this a rare but not entirely unexpected event, normally we expect san francisco for example to be a bigger problem in this regard (and it was during the last nanog meeting held there). mitigating this exposure entirely is infeasible, but if the attrition rate exceedes our ability to replace it then we have a problem. That didn't happen, observably, once the particpants descended en masse the local troglodites went back to their caves. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
