Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: Request for Proposals to Host AGA 2006 Convention

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Right, this is what I've been trying to wrap my hands around & have not 
been able to state.  We want people (SFBAAPS for example) to show real 
progress and evidence that they would get it all done in time.  Phil's 
proposal that I adopted into the deadlines sent to them did NOT require 
the final bid or hotel to be submitted April 1, rather just a 
preliminiary, including a list of committee heads.  Just SOMETHING in 
writing.  And I think this is what we'd also like to see November 1st for 
stuff from a year from now.

What I mean by "special consideration for SFBAAPS" was that if they were 
interested in hosting a Spring convention, by our standards, they're now 
out.  I'd like to give them the chance if they want to take it.  But I 
have no idea what their goal is, so it's impossible to negotiate anything 
with them yet.

Please let me know the final text (Scott, you're the head).  I will put 
that on the website, but will make no more arbitrary changes until then.
