FUDCon coming this summer/fall?

[inode0]

So there has been a dribbling of information about having one large
global FUDCon later this year along with one regionial FUDCon that is
already in the planning stages.

My question is if there is a planned FUDCon in North America later
this year when will an open discussion of that begin? Will it be
organized as FUDCons have been organized over the past several years
or is there a new process being used for this FUDCon? If a new process
is being used can we get that process out in the open?
