Quick process question.  We've been to both Stockholm (twice!) and Dublin before (and AFAIK no disqualifiers) so why were they included if the list is about expanding the set of cities to be considered?   Or are you soliciting input as to whether things have changed?

There was a lot of complaining about both venues.   I would not want to go back to the Dublin venue without a rental car—it was in the middle of nowhere with no food except a carvery.   Delightful.

I thought the Stockholm venue was delightful, but some felt it wasn't cold enough—there was a _lot_ of complaining about it.   I think the HVAC was actually quite a bit better than e.g. the Berlin venue, which nevertheless is a venue I'd like to see again.
