Hello all,

I can confirm here that doing it again in Montreal in 2009 is a 
realistic option, if this is the will of the teams.

It has to be understood that I am not pulling it towards "me" but as I 
understand it so far from the discussions, it seems that Singapore is a 
long-shot that we should continue to consider but maybe for 2010 or 
later, with a lot of preparation ahead. In any event, I will give a hand 
to anyone willing to organise the LGM. I also expect to be given a hand 
for taking care of this baby!

So, back to Montreal?

Please speak up!

The uni is enthusiastic to welcome us again. On my part, I can offer to 
organise LGM 2009 with the same enthusiasm! I know what is ahead of me, 
so you can take this as a concrete proposal!

Cheers!

Louis
