I agree completely. They have not even completed the formal bid process. At this point I have seen nothing from them that indicates to me that they have the leadership and experience to pull off an AGA. In fact the posts that I see from them (as recently as today) have demonstrated a lack of understanding of some of the most basic concepts of running a convention. As far as I am concerned they are in the BID process for 2006. Once they actually complete a formal bid it should be considered against any other bid submitted. Until then there is no agreement implied or otherwise.
