Perhaps we just need the rule, that Conf-Committee's voting-result shouldn't be released to the public before the board approved Conf-Committee's choice.<br>
If this rule is cleary comunicated to the bidder-teams all is fine.<br>

I dont think the board has to put any veto on any proposal *before*.<span class=""><br>
<br>
This is the job of the Conference Committee to identify possible<br>
blocks and propose probably instead of a winner, <br>

As a board member I didnt feel "in a corner with non choice": <br>
Ive always thought that I (and the board after discussion) can give a<span class=""><br>
-1 to the proposed selection and ask the Conf Com to propose another<br>
one.<br>
Maybe having right away a rank of the proposals with recommendations<br>
could speed up so that the board could decide to select the first or<br>
for any reason the next one.<br>

Sanghee, thanks for stepping in and completing this process.<br>
<br>
Also thanks to MPG for his earlier effort. I like his method of<br>

Congrats Michael and the Boston LOC! The committee recommendation<br>
is<br>
an accomplishment.<br>

Thanks to Ottawa and Philadelphia for great bids. Im glad that we<span class=""><br>
have to choose between multiple great options rather than<br>
reluctantly<br>
selecting a dubious option.<br>

Ive tried several times to suggest that our current system is<span class=""><br>
broken<br>
[1] or maybe not broken but could be improved. In my opinion, our<br>
process is such that the Conference Committee has painted the Board<br>
into a corner with no choice but to approve Boston. That is fine<br>
since Boston is a great proposal. In the event that in the future<br>
the<br>
Board does have reason to reject a bid, doing so *before* the<br>
Conference Committee makes a recommendation seems to make way more<br>
sense than *after*.<br>
<br>
Does anyone else think that our current system is structured for<br>
maximum difficulty and negative consequences should the Board have<br>
to<br>
reject a bid? If so, any other ideas of ways to improve it?<br>
<br>
