Hi Brian, That's a challenge I guess ! It happens to me when talking too much ;-) I can work on this, possibly could have something for a first draft by 10th of April, but as you said, it will be nice if there is at least one more co-author. Otherwise for sure Madrid will be a requirement and LATAM another one, which I'm not sure will be bad anyway :-) Agree, I was not talking about contractual issues, which in any case could be open in most of the details, we should have nothing to hide, right ? So we need a document which defines mainly: 1) Logistic criteria for the venue selection 2) Technical criteria for the venue selection 3) Logistic contingencies 4) Technical contingencies 5) Timing/planning Possibly I'm missing some other issues ... Inputs welcome ! I will also take a look and try to update the hosting requirements one.
