Hi Gabi, There currently seems to be momentum for India because a number of people support that option and there have been a number of favourable responses from networks in India. I don't think that means the location is already set in stone. If you want to go ahead and work on a proposal -- I think you should do it. I suggest linking up with MJ Kim who sent a message to the OURMedia list about the ups and downs of organizing a conference in Korea -- and I'm sure will have various suggestions.
