And a +1 from me just in case. I think it may be easier just to have a<br>
vote, we will probably spend more time discussing whether "lazy<br>
consensus"<br>
is okay than it will take to get sufficient votes :). We have 3 already,<br>

With respect Andrew it is for the committee not the bidders to decide<br>
whether to delay the deadline for FOSS4G 2017 proposals until 17th<br>
October<br>

I'll start the voting with a +1<br>

If anyone is opposed, please speak up in the next 24 hours otherwise<br>
we'll<br>
call it lazy consensus and make-it-so. The committee should not need to<br>

The Ottawa group would certainly feel we could bring forward a higher<br>
quality bid with the extra time, primarily due to FOSS4G having landed<br>
right in the middle of the response period.<br>

To be honest, I think it's primarily in OSGeo's interest -- as better<br>
bids = better chance of a successful event in 2017.<br>

(I’d suggest the deadline be extended only be allowed if all three LOCs<br>
also agree to the extension.)<br>
