That is six months away. From nothing to a cogent bid? An in August
(contacting certain agencies will be slower for the next few weeks)....

We wrote the DC bid for 2012 in the space of about a month and a half at the beginning of this year. You don't actually need everything 100% in place for the bid, you just need a good proposal and if you have a team of volunteers that want to take this upon themselves, dedicating time to it, it is not going to take anywhere close to 6 months to write the bid.
