Well, comparing with the bid checklist I think it's still very rough - we
may have venue+accom pricing, but there are a lot of important details
(food, network room, 24h access, handicap accessibility) that aren't yet
filled in at all, and I think that several of these points could scuttle
this venue choice if they don't turn out in our favor; so I am planning to
follow through on getting more complete data in time for this extended
deadline.  (Preferably by dividing and conquering among the local team. :)

Done.
