I submitted the UN conference for SotM and then removed it when it was officially accepted as SotM-US. It's not that we didn't want an international aspect -- this will certainly be the largest and most international SotM to date. It's that the US org has a demonstrated track record of running large conferences very well, and it seemed like a better partner for this. For context, during this submission process the Buenos Aires event didn't post a schedule until the last minute, had sponsorship issues with logos not correct, not up on time, etc. This conference will be very visible and we can't have stuff like that happening, so we opted for the US group. I'm just a single member of the organizing committee, but assuming both boards could work together and agreed on this, I personally would be happy to combine the conferences. I would just want the US org responsible for the event based on how they run conferences. But the more people at the UN the merrier! -Randy
