Perhaps if the issues being raised about the past role of the venue are confronted there - it could make a progressive difference?

After all, other former imperial and military-connected sites (such as the RGS in London) have become lively arenas for critical discussions.

But an explicit acknowledgment and commitment to discuss such issues at the venue/conference must surely be a prerequisite.

Until and unless there is such acknowledgment/commitment: I join those who would not feel comfortable attending the IGU conference in this site and call for an alternative venue.
