From John Williams:
Now for the big news. Our bid to host the 2012 Worlds at ABYC from September 7-15 was approved unanimously by the World Council. All the comments here about coverage need to get cleaned up and put into a media plan. Anyone who wants to roll up sleeves and pitch in, drop me a PM. Clock started yesterday. Let's show the world what we can do.
