Hi Liang, Ellie did reach out to Josh recently regarding the Manila bid (after which Josh relayed the message to our team) and, supposedly, she is also reaching out to members of the Bali and Perth bids. We (in the Manila team) are still discussing this, so I am not at liberty to provide further

Hi Toby, I asked several questions about this year's Annual Plan, only some of which received responses even after multiple pings from me, so I regret to say that I get the impression that community questions and input on the annual plan may be brushed aside. I wish that the situation was
