Good city in general, particularly with the high-speed train to Jerusalem opening in the near future.  However, a decision for IETF to meet in Israel is inherently political and may cause travel problems for attendees from some Arab countries.   The latter situation may be analogous to our current disfavoring of US locations due to travel problems.

Thanks, --David
