IETF Meeting Attendees' Frequently Asked (Travel) Questions
Abstract
This document attempts to provide a list of the frequently asked
questions (FAQs) posed by IETF meeting attendees regarding travel
logistics and local information. It is intended to assist those who
are willing to provide local information, so that if they wish to
pre-populate answers to some or all of these questions either in the
IETF wiki or a meeting-specific site, they have a reasonably complete
list of ideas to draw from. It is not meant as a list of required
information that the host or Secretariat needs to provide; it merely
serves as a guideline.

questions regarding their personal travel needs and logistics that
may only be answerable by someone who has been to the area before,
