Well, let's see: The problem: We want a network that is available from Sunday morning until Friday afternoon, with no interruptions, supports 1500 users in parallel using RF technology, supports the all latest protocols and services, with a help desk available to solve problems for the most

Hi Dennis, I guess is a big combination of issues, but not having a sponsor is not exactly correct. I know several people tried to sponsor IETF, and have been waiting for long time. I'm biased here, obviously, but I offered myself for Madrid since summer 2001. Only after the Vienna one, they

I did have a problem Friday morning before the session start. I got an IP address, but couldn't even ping the router. The person next to me was fine. Reboot and release/renew didn't help. I finally walked to a different place to force a roam, and everything worked fine. One data point. On

Site selection [Re: reflections from the trenches of ietf62 wireless]

Jordi, In my opinion we need a 200% open process to qualify if a sponsor and venue are acceptable or not. I'm sure Brian will heard us on this ;-) Since site selection involves contract negotiations, I doubt if the actual process can ever be even 100% open. But what can, and IMHO should be, open
