    <p>Dear Peter,</p>
    <p>as far as I understood, we discussed this also during a meeting
      we had with CC and the board some weeks ago. I think we agreed on
      keep our cycle "as is", which means, that 2021 will be held in
      Europe. <br>
    </p>
    <p>The Calgary team denied to re-organize the event in 2022 as they
      feared not to keep their team together, but maybe I remember
      wrong.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I re-put this topic also on the agenda of our board meeting we
      will have on friday.</p>
    <p>Till<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>

      <div dir="ltr">Hi all, just looking back on the email threads, in
        the conversation around the cancellation of the Calgary event,
        there were some suggestions that the 2022 event should be held
        in North America, so we don't go so long without having an event
        there, and also that we should offer the right of first refusal
        to the Calgary team, so if they wanted to run the 2022 event we
        could elect to award it to them without a competitive RFP
        (probably subject to submitting some updated plans for review).
        At the time the Calgary team weren't sure if they would want to
        do it again, understandably due to the situation, but they
        didn't rule it out. I don't know if I missed any subsequent
        discussion on this front.
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Personally I would support first offering the Calgary team
          the right of first refusal on the 2022 event. If they decide
          they don't want to do it, then we need to decide whether the
          location for 2022 should be North America (which means we
          would go 5 years between NA events, 4 years between European
          events) or Europe (6 years between NA events, 3 years between
          European events).</div>
