Then each venue describe what are the good points about the other venue. Then each venue describes the weak point in the own venue. Then, we will go thru the priorities and say "1, 3, 5,6 and 9 are equal for both venues, on 7 and 8 $venue_a is better and on 2 and 4 $venue_b, so we take $venue_a" (disclaimer: I haven't looked up neither the priorities nor the venue in detail - so this is completly made up :) We should try to find consensus on this discussion by everyone in the channel _and_ has voice set (the irc mode is set so that only people with voice are allowed to talked, everyone can join and listen - we'll have another channel for everyone to talk) - so we need to come up with a criteria, who can be on this channel, too. An easy guess would be everybody on http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf7/Teams plus a few others (which we should list there for future reference), plus two people from each venue. And only those will find a (sometimes only rough) consensus on each priority and how the venues rank and in the end we'll have a winner, as we have 9 priorities. And of course this might also not happen at this meeting, a.) as anything can go different than planned and b.) even with 9 priorities we can have a tie. And I probably forgot (or mixed up) some details, please add them. And we should put parts of this procedure in the agenda on http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf7/Meetings - please do so :) Right now I'm too tired to do so. regards, Holger
