Re: [Debconf-team] DebConf discussion: Venue bid process
While much of this proposal should be uncontroversial, I would
definitely like to see some comments on the delegation aspect:

I'm not at all tied to this (or to other details of the proposal), but
it seems like we should have some defined way to make the final bid
decision, rather than just muddling through.
Other possibilities include:
* Insist on consensus: if more than one bid thinks they've won, wait
for one to give in through tiredness or boredom.
* Toss a coin: if there's no consensus, use a random number generator
to choose an outcome.
