:D I'm always happy to meet another fellow Amazonian.
Seriously, I don't know about Paramaribo, but Kourou is too expensive, every trip to French Guiana by air necessarily landing at Cayenne's airport. We may have a space base here, but that doesn't mean the local airstrip is any less rinky-dink.
If beautiful Paramaribo is an option, I'd be glad to help plan it. I should start learning Dutch. ^^

Well let's do it in Paramaribo then! With a daytrip to an Arianne launch ;) As an ex-inhabitant of that city I would certainly like that :)

You've got it all wrong. You need to come to Kourou! There are beaches, tropical rainforests, rivers, lakes, the ocean, and if you get bored you
can
always tour the space museum and see the Ariane rockets.
Hmmm, I wonder if we could plan a Wikimania around an Ariane launch...
(Also not entirely joking.)
(Much.)

Had a location in western Europe been selected the costs would have been much lower for eastern north America, most of europe, and I'm guessing less costly for Australia.
Well, yes... except for the part where there were no bids from
western
Europe this year that didn't drop out before the final judging :)
Unless
you're suggesting that the jury should start choosing the location by
fiat,
then it's awfully difficult to choose a community bid that doesn't
exist.
I return to my proposal to just decree we take Frankfurt in odd years and Boston in even ones and leave it at that. Everyone's evenly annoyed ;-)
[okay, for flexibility, we can maybe rotate the European side among Amsterdam and Paris, and the American one with New York or Toronto, but it's the same broad idea...]

[ps. me either]
