Hello all, I can confirm here that doing it again in Montreal in 2009 is a realistic option, if this is the will of the teams. It has to be understood that I am not pulling it towards "me" but as I understand it so far from the discussions, it seems that Singapore is a long-shot that we should continue to consider but maybe for 2010 or later, with a lot of preparation ahead. In any event, I will give a hand to anyone willing to organise the LGM. I also expect to be given a hand for taking care of this baby! So, back to Montreal? Please speak up! The uni is enthusiastic to welcome us again. On my part, I can offer to organise LGM 2009 with the same enthusiasm! I know what is ahead of me, so you can take this as a concrete proposal! Cheers!
