Dave,
As for the concern you cite about earlier timing, when the choice of
venue is still 'hypothetical', can you please provide some details
about the nature of that concern and how it was concluded that those
concerns should dominate the choice of timing?
No, because nothing has been concluded :-) .
I was trying to convey that we have taken one step towards gathering the
kind of information Margaret/Melinda were discussing, but that figuring
out the *next* step is (in my personal opinion) trickier. It’s a work
in progress.
Leslie.

Leslie,
A working premise has been that disclosing a target venue when the
contact with sites there are about to happen or are happening will
affect the negotiations. Simply put, if they have good reason to
think that we are committed to that city and there aren't many choices
there, their negotiating leverage gets dramatically better than ours.

Thanks.
