Craig,

you are pretty far ahead of me.  i took Nick's interesting suggestion as the 
beginning of a discussion on this list.  i figured that at the end, if a group 
of people were convinced this was a good idea, then would be the time to 
formulate a way of polling the membership at large.

my take is that this is worth discussing.  maybe have each of the three happen 
every 18 months, roughly spring and (early) fall, so there would be two 
events, roughly 6 months apart, each year.

i'm not sure Eurosys is a good model, as my understanding when i was at SOSP 
is that it isn't really intended to be a "EuroSOSP".  but, maybe i just didn't 
catch that.

but, i'd be interested in hearing about the crypto community's experiences 
with *Crypto, how long they've been doing each, etc.

(an alternative i see is that NSDI "grows up" into a very strong conference, 
held each year in the US, and that this "allows" SIGCOMM to have a 3 year 
rotation: North America, Asia, Europe [note that i'm on the NSDI steering 
committee].)

cheers, Greg
