I am not aware of ANY evidence that the USENIX board does, has or will
take local politics into account when chosing the location of a
"technical" conference.
There is absolutely no official or unofficial board position on the topic
of Arizona (or New Orleans). It has not been discussed and I dont expect
it to be discussed.
Those three individuals certainly are not speaking for the entire board on
this matter.

A board member, but not speaking for the entire board.
