Yes. Generally speaking, if the local organizers are prepared to be
almost all of the formal organization (as in the last two years) I
think we should let them. OTOH, this shouldn't be enforced, either.
But I think it depends what they want.

I think some wilful ignoring of opinions might be necessary <wink>,
but I bet we can sort this out.

Well, the location decision needs a clear laying out of the choices.
This means more work for the Gothenbourg people, I guess.

Is Dario back from vacation yet?
