TCC X Proposals - please send comments by 21 March 2009

Hello all.
 
I hope many of you have read the three Towards Carfree Cities X (2010) conference proposals - attached again in case you don't have them.
 
We now ask for your thoughts on the proposals, to assist the Steering Committee's decision-making. You may find the questions below useful for comparing proposals.
 
Please send comments to this mailing list by Saturday 21 March - thank you for your help.
 
I also hope to send an update about our events in 2009 very soon.
 
Regards,
 
Simon.
WCN Steering Committee.
 
Bidders were asked to answer the following questions:
a. who are are?; what organisation(s) are you with?
b. what resources, skills and time are being offered (fundraising, programme 
work, outreach, office space, etc.)?
c. what groups would be partners; what other useful contacts you have?
d. why the conference should be held in your city?
e. what you would like to occur at the conference (overall concept and any 
programme details)?

These additional questions are used by the Steering Committee:
 
1. What could we learn from the host city? Would the examples be replicable in other parts of the world?

2. Strength of host organisation. Potential for broad range of local partners.

3. Accessibility. Will network members be able afford the time and expense to travel to the host city?

4. Political context. Will there be local support for a Towards Carfree Cities Conference?

5. Influence on world stage? Will the location attract attention from the press?

6. Ability to inspire. Will the ambiance of the city give the visitor
positive examples of public space not dominated by motorised traffic?

7i. Which city would draw the most participants? ii. Where would you prefer to go?

8. i) What would the conference do that's new, interesting or different compared to past conferences? ii) Is there some idea or purpose that ties the proposal together? (is there a conference concept or theme?)
