Again, just to make sure this rumor doesn't get new legs, no one but no one in charge of anything has any idea why Alison thinks or thought this. She must have overheard something unstated in writing from someone who thought they knew something which they didn't, or similar.

I noticed there's no London/UK bid currently on Meta - any reason for this? The page states "Unofficial bids may be started as early as you like". Surely if we want to be in with a damn good chance we need to at least start the page now? I think I remember some discussion about not being able to book a venue (specifically universities) more than 12 months in advance, but still? Just wondering what people think.
Save your energy; the impression I have been given by a number of people - obviously unstated in writing but quite clearly otherwise - is that we will not have a hope in hell of getting it, indeed 2008 is already "assigned".
And there you were saying on foundation-l you didn't feel discouraged at all ...
