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,

--
