The timeline for 2012 would look something like: > > September 1st : Announce the Call for Location for 2012 > October 1st: PR about the process, announce details of the Selection Panel > Paris conference: Plenary slot explaining the process and timeline > November 15th: Applications close > December: Selection Panel reviews applications > January 15th: Location announced > > And for 2013: > > September 1st: Mention in PR there will be a 2013 selection process > November 15th: Announce the Call for Location for 2013 > January 15th: Include news of 2013 process in PR > March: Promote 2013 Call for Location > May 31st: Applications close > June/July: Selection Panel reviews applications > August 30th: 2013 venue announced > October: @013 team attends and helps with 2012 conference Points to take into account for the next proposal + main venue - easy to access from international transports - easy to access from accommodations - at least 2 big rooms for conf hosting + one for meetings/others + one place for community gathering + team - at least 5 persons are necessary for the whole organization - one should be dedicated to sponsor relations and to invitations/visa, administrative tasks (it's very time consuming). - have a local NGO for expenses and sponsoring and deal with the money + it could be along another event, but should have enough room/meeting points for our own conf ------------------------------- Questions for the proposal: - describe the location - describe your team - why would you like to host the conf - have you local sponsors/organizations - ?
