It's on the Board meeting agenda for Saturday. As this year I expect we will go for the same process of asking for proposals to host the conference so it will be up to the local OSM communities to come forward if they wish to have a stab at hosting SOTM in 2010. Amsterdam went off fantastically well with this approach.
