So the first "last call" was some time ago. There are
current bids as
indicated in the article as well. It seems disingenuous to send it
out even further without giving folks an idea what the new bidders
should be concentrating on that wasn't there in the previous bids.
However, I don't want to put anyone on the spot. Is there something
we can highlight appropriately? (This is probably a question for
CommOps and the Flock team.)
My understanding about this article was that it was supposed to be a
call for bids to bring to the drawing board. I believe both of the
French locations had been ruled out due to budget constraints, and there
is currently an (unfinished) proposal for Vienna. I know that some
mentioned the possibility of doing a second year in the US.
Perhaps the article should be edited to make this clear? When I
originally wrote it, I was trying to focus on just encouraging others to
write more bids, but if it might be better to express the urgency of
needing more bids, it might be good to fact check and then pop those in
there, and then shoot it out on the channels.
This was why I thought it might be good to shoot out over social media
channels - it seems like EMEA could use some more Flock bids if it will
be held over there in 2016. I'm not sure when the actual deadline date
is as of this moment.
