I would hope so. But unfortunately it's premature to make any "final" decision until there is at least one plausible option presented, including among other things a plausible budget. Richard just started a new budget discussion, and I think someone who was at the non-BSP will post something from there; I would be surprised if discussion on that topic is complete this week.
Once a plausible budget is put together by the team, the next stage (of the previously agreed process) is to present it to the DPL for approval. (That is meant to happen before anything is confirmed as definite to suppliers/venues, obviously.)
Surely one can look for dc13 sponsors now as the situation is
Yes -- as has been said, it's late already. And the best way to show that any of the possible Swiss budgets are plausible would be to quickly get some promises of cash from non-repeat sponsors, to demonstrate that we can expect the sponsorship income to be greater than the last few years.
