Thanks for everyone's quick feedback.  Here is an update:

- latest version of document in SVN:
   - OpenOffice: 
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-for-proposal.odt
   - pdf: 
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-for-proposal.pdf 


- modified the "Application Process" section (page 6) to state:

"Following the selection process that was implemented during the 2011 
hosting process, where the OSGeo conference committee decided to solicit 
proposals from specific regions each year, the 2012 event will be aimed 
at regions anywhere other than North America or Europe (therefore the 
2013 event will be focused on Europe, and the 2014 event will be focused 
on North America)."

and also:

"“Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing 
Committees (LOC) in regions anywhere other than North America or Europe. 
If there are no submissions from groups in those regions, letters from 
any region will then be solicited."

- added FOSS4G2011 current conference report to appendix (page 12)

- Lorenzo is working with Grupo Pacifico on their short report

- awaiting response from FOSSGIS 2011 team

- will give 2 more days, then will release

Thanks for the feedback!
