Well I think we/you are going in the wrong direction, it seems to me you are fighting one against the other when you have the same goal at the end.I saw the bids just a few days ago and am surprised you already voted, because the bids have both pros and cons.I would consider instead to extend the deadline (remember we don't have a budget yet set) and try to find more arguments why the FUDCon should be in Panama or in Brazil. People should not vote just for winning a bit, they should vote having enough informations about the bids.Organizing a FUDCon is not simple and you need a lot of people and a good strategy to be successful.So please, before you fight within your region about valid or invalid votes, think about the final goal and extend your deadline a bit. If you like I'm sure jkurik can setup a voting session, although the Region's proposals to the Council never needed that.My two cents.Robert
