Hey everyone, Really sorry for the delay in this. A bunch of issues around this (and IRL workload) have delayed me hugely; my apologies. I propose to just charge ahead and announce a Jury in an hour's time or so; I've tried my best to balance it (in the same way that we did in previous years), which is not perfect - not by a long shot - but gets us: (a) a Jury in place to make a decision in the next couple of months so that 2013 bids can actually happen, and (b) gives us a really good reason for this to be the last-ever Jury created in this way, as I said on 30 December; I really don't want this to be the process for 2014 (even if I dump this part on someone else). I hope this meets with everyone's approval (OK, the majority's acceptance - asking for mass approval is perhaps too much!). Yours, -- James D.
