I'd have to agree with Siska here. Like what Thomas said in chapters-L, given
that most chapters are in Europe, the Foundation saves more by bringing the less
numerous Asians, Australians and Americans (North and South) to Europe than the
other way around.

Morgan,
As painful as it may sound, the European will let the Asian travel
twice, rather than them going to Hong Kong for chapter's meeting.
I think Illario's email sounded the most reasonable one. Personal
view, I don't think even the UK will win the bid for chapter's
meeting, other European chapter's preferences are leaning toward to
held in again in Germany for the next 3 years, or perhaps 2, then open
for bidding.
