[OSGeo-Conf] Event rotation

[Dave McIlhagga]

Hold on -- is that really fair? We established a process here so that local groups could plan accordingly with full expectation that we will be in Europe for 2013. Why are we penalizing groups that are doing the hard work to plan a bid for 2013? by changing the rules on the fly, we provide no predictability, lose credibility, and will certainly reduce the quality of bids in the future.

We setup a process -- the reality was that there were no LOIs by the deadline for non-EUR/NA, and we're following our own established and publicized rules to go to the next stage.

Please consider the ramifications of the changes you are suggesting -- they aren't insignificant.

Dave
