Your timing is pretty good Nyarlathotep!! I spent two hours on the phone to committee last night and I said I would update the thread tonight! (just too tired last night)
So here is the up to date situation: We have 3 bids all with different features and attractions. I/We have selected a panel of 18 (it was 12, 6 more are about to be asked) coaches from all over the globe. Most of the 18 are not European. We will give these 18 a breakdown of the bids and ask them to vote. A clear winner will selected. In case of a tie, I will have a casting vote.
For clarity, no coach from one of the countries putting forward a bid will have a vote. The only committee members to vote will be the TD and the FD, for obvious reasons. I only vote if tied.
This process will not take long, I am about to send the 6 extra invites and I am waiting to hear on a couple back of the first 12.
As we we have said, there are no flights to book yet and we have agreed on mainland Europe. |

Further update: The decision process for the venue is on track as per previous statements. We are expecting to make the announcement at the end of this month. I am just waiting for the last of the 18 to confirm and then I will release the documentation to them.
At the end of the month, I shall probably lock a number of old threads and start some new ones so everyone knows where the information is and also where we know to look for new questions from the members. I think that is cleaner and easier, I hope you agree. |

We are 2 days from the end of the month and just over a year away from the anticipated dates of the tourney... any word yet? I, like many others I suspect, we need as much advance notice to make arrangements as possible. Scheduling time off, arranging passports, hotels, etc. Can we at least get the tentative dates so I can start trying to make sure they are clear on my calendar? |

Indeed it is.
And now I can announce that the World Cup 2011 will be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
You will please understand that the team hosting will need some time to prepare to answer many more questions, so more to follow.
I expect that we will lock old threads and start a new one officially.

Amsterdam!!! Yes!!!!
Depending on the exact date, I will definatly try to make this one. I have to book my holidays for the rest of the year (2011) in January, so hopefully we will know the date before then. |

3. It could be possible to have an 'early' signing on period for those teams which attended the first WC - there would have to be a stipulation that at least four/five of the original six members are part of the group, but it may be possible.
That's it for now - more soon!
