So the first "last call" was some time ago. There are current bids as indicated in the article as well. It seems disingenuous to send it out even further without giving folks an idea what the new bidders should be concentrating on that wasn't there in the previous bids. However, I don't want to put anyone on the spot. Is there something we can highlight appropriately? (This is probably a question for CommOps and the Flock team.)
My understanding about this article was that it was supposed to be a call for bids to bring to the drawing board. I believe both of the French locations had been ruled out due to budget constraints, and there is currently an (unfinished) proposal for Vienna. I know that some mentioned the possibility of doing a second year in the US.
Perhaps the article should be edited to make this clear? When I originally wrote it, I was trying to focus on just encouraging others to write more bids, but if it might be better to express the urgency of needing more bids, it might be good to fact check and then pop those in there, and then shoot it out on the channels.
This was why I thought it might be good to shoot out over social media channels - it seems like EMEA could use some more Flock bids if it will be held over there in 2016. I'm not sure when the actual deadline date is as of this moment.
