I think it would be nice to drop soccer.  One time was OK.  If people 
like playing soccer, then fine, perhaps it can be a nice ICANN 
tradition, but it's a dull social event.  Local hosts would be better 
trying to think of more appealing social night.  Bowling at the 
Wellington meeting seemed to work well.  Bowling itself wasn't 
important, but it was a good way to mix with people.

and cricket before great laziness intervened, I've been reduced to 
occasional golf...)
