the one thing I don't know is: who'll make the final decision? If it looks 
like most people want it to be in place X then there's no problem, but what if 
opinions are really divided and no consensus is reached?

don't really have an opinion on this. I guess two years would be somewhat 
easier for the organizers. But if it were a two-year process already, would we 
have had the Vietnam and Brazil bids for 2011?
