Dear all,<br>
<br>
In the LGM-organisers meeting that we held on the last day of LGM in Madrid we made a few decisions <a href="http://lgm2013.titanpad.com/4" target="_blank">http://lgm2013.titanpad.com/4</a><br>
<br>
In other words, we decided to consider four proposals for LGM 2014 and established a relay person for each of these options (Montreal: Louis Desjardins, Medellin: Maria Leandro, Leipzig: Mario Behling, Buenos Aires: Dave Crossland). We realized that we needed to revise and republish our criteria for selecting a venue. They have been indeed discussed in 2010 but they are currently not publicly accessible.</blockquote>

<br>
Promoters of each venue have the possibility to revise and/or clarify their proposals in the coming two weeks. We will decide the venue for 2014 in an IRC meeting and will have a selection made by May 15. The "committee" taking responsible for this decision, is the group that was present at the meeting. Only if these people can not come to a clear consensus, the debate will be opened up to the larger community.<br>
<br>
We also established that the deadline for proposing a venue for LGM 2015 should be minimum 3 months before LGM 2014 so that the decision can be made beforehand and announced at the meeting.<br>
<br>
Let's keep with this procedure? It's probably not perfect but to me it seems that things are put in place to make a reasonable choice.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>We all agreed on that and it rejoins our guidelines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We’ll put things clear on the website and the call for 2015 will be made on time as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div><br></div><div>Louis</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
