A budget would also be nice, so we can compare feasibility on those
grounds as well.

Of course if we don't have a more formal organization nobody really
has the right to ask for any budget, and what happens if we have
two vocal blocks who both want the another location? This is why we
really need a more formal organization, folks..

The thing I objected to most in the beginning was *not* the choice of
Charleroi as a location for EPC 2004. What I objected to was the unclear
process by which this choice had been made and announced. We really need
at least an idea of what this process will be like before we can even
know what a 'decision' means! I don't want to replace Denis and Tom=20
with "an assortment of active people and people on the mailing list".=20
