It's perhaps a little early, but I felt that the planning for WC2006 was quite rushed and it might help to know sooner where the meeting is going to be. That's what this thread is for.

Recommended city criteria:

• Located in eastern Canada or (north)eastern USA.
• Major city with lots of stuff to do for a group of JJ2 community members.
• Accessible public transit system.
• Near a major airport and/or bus terminal.
• Not too expensive for accommodation.
• Not Toronto, because EC2005 was there :-P.

I've been relatively absent from community communication channels such as #jj2, so I don't know what kind of discussion (if any) has occurred so far.

The only serious suggestion I've heard so far, from discussion at the end of WC2006, is Montréal, Québec, Canada. Advantages of Montreal:

• Arguably Canada's most interesting and diverse city.
• Opportunity to practice French, though fairly easy to get around in English.
• Lots of things to do, and a nice city to walk around in.
• Drinking age is 18 .

So if you don't want the meeting to be in Montreal, post your city suggestions here! I'll set an arbitrary deadline of November 1, 2006, for suggestions, and December 1, 2006, for a final decision of the city. Of course I have no real ability to enforce these deadlines, but I would really like to get this moving, so please try and follow them .
