<div dir="ltr" class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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>
