These things are far more complicated than just BOF Council making decisions. I guess the ultimate decision is made by the IOF etc etc... Brian Porteous is Chairman of the deciding committee.... and the lead time for a World Cup [not world champs Mrs H] is at least 4 to 6 years. I remember for WOC 99 the seeds were sown after we hosted the World University Champs in 1982... that was a lead time of 17 years
