Dear IAOC,

In response to your request for feedback, I do not believe that we could
have a successful meeting in Macau or Hong Kong. Prior experience with
Beijing indicates that a large number of main participants will not attend
meetings in the PRC because of security and/or philosophical concerns. I
believe this should rule out Macau and Hong Kong.
