I think Patricio is very right, and a "you'll hear from us" is not a reply
that is worth the efforts imho. The local teams have to deal with
relationships indeed, and I think that the very least the jury can do now is
set a fine deadline. I really have to say that I am truely disappointed by
the way this is going, and of this reply.

Dear friends:
We are writting this email in behalf of
Wikimedia Argentina, to tell you about our concern because of the lack
of news about the jury decision and even about when this decision may
be taken.
This is not just a personal concern and is not
only caused by an understandable anxiety: we are being requested from
potential sponsors and media and we are delaying this meetings because
we don't know what to tell them. The worst thing is that we can't tell
them at least when are we going to know the decision. The Director of
our proposed venue is pushing us to define if we are going to use it
or not, because they need to set the 2009 agenda. And so on. We think
the Toronto team may have the same problems.
The last deadline finished twelve days ago,
and since then we had no news. We don't want to disturb nor to hurry
up the jury discussion, but it would be of great help if the jury
could establish a final date. If this is done, at least part of the
uncertainty will disappear.
Thanks,
Patricio Lorente Presidente
Enrique Chaparro (Vicepresidente)

As soon as there is news you will hear it (trust me I've been bugging
people for ages now... and anyhow the decision is always late for whatever
reason.)
