Find a US sponsor, and the event comes home to you. Personally, I agree that it will be in the US in any of the next 10 years when a sponsor is available. I know that the ICCA negotiated to hold the event outside Europe in 2004, in Israel. The money and venue where there, but negotiations folded, as I heard it, due to an unreasonable demand by the ICCA. Amir >Does it not help to look at both sides of the issue? > >MH
