<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>

<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>

<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> Peter.</div>

I added just two comments. In general I woulde also suggest to
have a<br>
WIKI page with just the most important infos about the bidding

like we had in the past [1]. This in order to keep the process
open and<br>
transparent.<br>
