The problem with holding a vote _at the conference_ is that it
excludes those who disliked the current venue (or the current time)
enough to not bother attending, and it selects for those who are
only interested _if they can sleep in their own beds at night_ whose
beds happen to be close by.  All this favours the encumbant, and may
be significant.
