Ideally, I think we should be sending out requests for proposals right about now inthe calendar year for the following year's convention. Proposals would be reviewed just before or, more likely, after the convention, say before year end. Early details are set and we're ready for a formal anouncement by Feb/March. We almost slid into this kind of schedule for AGA2K3 because of the early work that Larry and Erik did. We're a bit behind it for 2K4, at least in terms of a formal process of sending out the prop & guidelines doc. I'm just talking about Ideally here. Just offering up the the thoughts. Assuming this and subsequent conventions earn profits, I think this is a good time frame to cover the procurement process and the planning and execution by the host. sh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
