Hi Matthew et all,

You may be right! :)

That's why I have tried to hunt you many times to remind you take a look
at APAC FUDCon 2015 bids and make the final decision (after regional
community and FAmSCo did review them)
That's also the same reason why I tried to push Robyn for FUDCon APAC 2014
although, in fact, it was approved less than 3 months before start date.
That may be one of the reasons why FUDCon APAC 2013 could not happen (no
one had been willing to step up to push all others for it)

So, you are absolutely right. We need someone to take this responsibity.

He/she/they could be you (as now), or CAIC or Council, but I personally
prefer that could be a team to avoid the single of failure situation.
Also, how about the upcoming FOSCO? Can they play a role here?
