[Air-l] AoIR conference venues

[J. J.]

Dear Colleagues,

I think we are validating the premise of the digital divide in this 
discussion about the visa to the US requirement. After all, if any other 
country on the planet started restricting entry at its borders, we probably 
would not consider it as an option this time around. I really like to think 
that the current visa problems are just that: problems that will be resolved 
in a near future. At the same time, we are riding the Internet wave and it 
maybe challenging for a fledgling organization such as ours to sustain our 
conferences unless they are profitable, right?

Poor infrastructure in some countries and perhaps political climate in 
others (I’m thinking about visas for the U.S. here) are always going to be 
variables for us to consider. Not to lose the balance between the two, I 
think I am ready to vote for Budapest.
