Congratulations to those voted as hosts for this cycle and commiserations to those who missed out. I leave it to you 4 to now liaise between yourselves regarding sign-ups and threads etc.

One small sidenote, and this is probably my fault for not wording the voting requisites very well, is that we had a fair few WCC voters trying to vote on the BoF, which isn't allowed constitutionally. I'll make sure I'm clearer next time, but something to be aware of.
