I think Patricio is very right, and a &quot;you&#39;ll hear from us&quot;&nbsp; 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. <br>

Dear friends:<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are writting this email in behalf of<br> Wikimedia Argentina, to tell you about our concern because of the lack<br> of news about the jury decision and even about when this decision may<br>

 be taken.<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is not just a personal concern and is not<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;only caused by an understandable anxiety: we are being requested from<br> potential sponsors and media and we are delaying this meetings because<br>

 we don&#39;t know what to tell them. The worst thing is that we can&#39;t tell<br> them at least when are we going to know the decision. The Director of<br> our proposed venue is pushing us to define if we are going to use it<br>

 or not, because they need to set the 2009 agenda. And so on. We think<br> the Toronto team may have the same problems.<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The last deadline finished twelve days ago,<br> and since then we had no news. We don&#39;t want to disturb nor to hurry<br>

 up the jury discussion, but it would be of great help if the jury<br> could establish a final date. If this is done, at least part of the<br> uncertainty will disappear.<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks,<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Patricio Lorente Presidente<br>
