What gives you an impression, that the board is not organizing the
conference? I also like to add, that comparing the past, as  
international
conferences were held with a dozen or so participants with the now
planned event, that aims for c.a. 150 participants, will at best will  
give
a slightly skewed impression.

There were no other offers from any other country than Germany. As
you know, you actively have lobbied in the US-PP against submitting
an offer to host the conference in New-York.

We have sent out three reminders on submitting offers, and have
actively asked many parties, but with no success.

Dear Andrew, as this obviously has sliped your attention, as you was  
reading
the Invitation, it had a preliminary agenda attached to it. If you go  
and
reread it, your question should be answered.

sincerely yours,
