Oh, lets have that in Sydney too! What fun.

I'd expect it would be in Redmond. I don't see how the ballot resolution
meetings can possibly work, actually. Many unusual and poor countries will
 vote "no with comments", and if the meetings are in Redmond or Europe
that rules out the participation of many countries: what happens to their
votes then...can they send proxies?

The only way I can see the Ballot Resolutions not descending into farce is
if the are held using some kind of teleconferencing or virtual meeting.
Even co-located meetings in say Redmond and Delhi would be better.

I have already told some people in SC34 and at MS that I think virtual
meetings are essential; I hope someone goes ahead with it but it seems to
far ahead.

Cheers
