Hello Andrew,<br><br>We will take your points into consideration when deciding where to host the conference. Now we first want to see who is even interested to host the next conference. When we have the candidates and have a closer look at the offers after the deadline, we'll take into consideration where the last conferences took place etc. for our final decision.<br>
<br>We will also publish every offer we get so you can follow our reasoning when we decide on the offers.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Jerry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 8:28 PM, Andrew Norton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ktetch@gmail.com">ktetch@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Just for, you know, S+G, are there any requirements?<br>
<br>
For instance, is the long-standing practice that 'countries that have<br>
hosted before, not host again unless there are NO other options' going<br>
to be honored?<br>
<br>
Also, is there going to be a preference for a NON European host this<br>
time? After all, all five previous ones are in Europe, there are parties<br>
elsewhere, and to continue to hold them in Europe seems like a violation<br>
of the PPI statutes (since it would indicate the PPI only encouraging<br>
parties in Europe, rather than worldwide)<br>
<br>
The last conference had BIG problems with being extremely discriminative<br>
against non-EU parties (not only was it in Europe, but EU parties, with<br>
the shortest travel distance and lowest costs, were financially encouraged)<br>
