Moving from James' idea of a three-years rotation
between regions, and
taking into account Katie's idea, we may define three rotating areas:
* First year: Europe + Middle East + North Africa
* Second year: Americas + Oceania
* Third year: rest of Asia + Sub-Saharan Africa
I'd rather group regions by the likelihood that people in those regions
come together and cooperate on an event (once their region is chosen):
it's no use selecting a region if 5 "big" competing bids then emerge for
it.
Europe should definitely be (at least) in Council of Europe terms.
Americas have Iberocoop + all the spanish-speaking USA people and might
indeed be considered as a whole.
As for Africa, I'd really like to see a map of the continent where
distance is measured by flight cost... we might discover that the centre
of Subsaharian Africa is Dubai, Paris or Frankfurt. My search results
were poor:

As for the rest of the world, no idea...
