This is true up to a certain point in time, I mean, these venues cannot wait 
for us to choose one of them forever. We would need to make our choice some 
months in advance and sign precontracts which obliges them and us to respect 
what we argee upon. Otherwise, in case of a Hotel and Dorm, they could not 
guarantee us exat dates for the conference, since they have other 
guests/conferences esspecially during summer. 
So we would have to make our choice reasonably in advance. 
Should we get chosen to host, we can check with the venue managers when would 
be the last date for us to sign precontracts and make our decision on the 
venue. Although, this is not practical in my opinion, and it makes the whole 
thing more ambiguos and adds to uncertainty for Hotel/Dormitory/Cultural 
Centre people and for the local team. 
I am all for making choices within next one or two months, so we can plan 
normaly in advance and have some legal papers to work with.
