Hi all,

In a philosophical, but productive discussion at today's meeting, there was clear support for the Wellington proposal. Obviously there is much work to do to firm this up and determine many of the details around what this would look like, but given that:

  1.  we have a very solid proposal on the table, from a proponent who is intimately familiar with what it has taken to create the event we're about to put on, and with substantial support already committed from individuals and organisations
  2.  we have no other proposals (acknowledging that we don't have a robust process in place to solicit these, but I posit that at this point, if anyone was seriously interested in putting together a bid for 2019, they would have raised it by now)
  3.  having the conference in NZ would reinforce our status as an international event, serving to establish a good basis for continuing to brand ourselves as 'Oceania'
  4.  LINZ has been a supporter of this event from early on, and is historically a very strong adopter of open source geospatial
  5.  as the national capital, we might expect a high local turnout from Wellington (Canberra/ACT is by far our highest per-capita source of attendees in 2018, at least 27 from a population of 420000)
  6.  by making this decision now, we clear the way for making an announcement next week, when it will have the most impact

I'd like to put forward a motion: that we confirm our support for Wellington as the destination for this event in 2019.

+1 from me. What say you?

I'm keen to have this discussion on Friday and move forward by email over the following few days before we kick off. I've put it on this Friday's agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZmCKjEgYoR4cVYgdjDgEKt3DQV-NTJ52_h1ACeLHHCg/edit#>, and I'll make plans to include an announcement in the end-of-conf address, pending a committee decision.
