+1. Ellie's suggestion makes a lot of sense.
For 2016 bids, I was in fact thinking we should open bids right after Wikimania in London is over and have a decision by next Fall. Will propose this to the Steering Committee.
I hope everyone is getting in touch with the hosts to give them input this week on their bids. The jury committee will be delving into its review in the coming weeks. Input from the community now to the individual bidders now will help them to refine things a bit more.
Thanks, Ellie
