Folks,

if this is an issue, let's handle it like this:

- the bidding teams *can* send their proposal to me & someone else from
CC (Guido? Michael?), if they want to get rid of it before the official
deadline and if they fear publishing their proposal to the public
earlier than other teams

  - in that case the bidder posts only a submission-note on the ML

  - if not, they are open to publish their proposal via the mailing
list, just like it was the years before

This does not apply for LoI's.

Is that okay (I feel that we don't need a motion here)?
