Earlier in the conversation, there were mentions of this schedule being a result of COVID-related measures. Since the pandemic is now by and large over (turned endemic just like all the other ones, easy to deal with), then the return to pre-pandemic scheduling might be the better thing to do here. For me personally, the viable options are pretty much just Madrid and Dublin. But while Dublin's weather would be favourable to what I'm used to, it also raises the questions of travel visas and such... I don't know the state of affairs related to that for Ireland, though I have received private feedback about it before. Anyway, point here is basically just that it's one of many considerations that might want to be made on the individual participants' level. Meanwhile the everything else might just be as easy as rolling the schedule back to spring, or moving it into autumn. I think both are fine. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Michael De Roover Mail: ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Web: michael.de.roover.eu.org
