In general, W3C WG meetings are hosted by one or other of the organizations in the WG. For example, the upcoming CSS f2f in Oslo is hosted by Opera, the recent SVG f2f in Brussels was hosted by Microsoft and the next one in Paris is hosted by Telecom ParisTech.

Typically this includes a room with tables and chairs, power, network; often a projector. Lunch may be hosted or may be at local restaurants depending on location. Traditionally, but this is not required, there will be a hosted dinner one night too.

Do any WebFonts WG members have suitable meeting facilities at either the LA or Dublin locations?

The W3C host institutions (MIT in the US, ERCIM Sophia Antipolis in France, Keio University in Japan) have in the past hosted meetings that take place at those locations.
