The Second Main Business Meeting is also the Site Selection Business Meeting. Site Selection business comes first, after which we finally got to work on the new constitutional amendments. For the summary, see my report to Chicon's online newsletter.
Here's the meeting video. The first 90 minutes or so was Site Selection Business: results of the 2024 Worldcon Site Selection (Glasgow running unopposed won handily) and their initial presentation, 2023 NASFiC (Winnipeg, running unopposed after Orlando withdrew, also won their race) and their initial presentation. After that, the Chengdu 2023 Worldcon made a very long presentation and answered a few questions.
( Then Things Got Interesting )
Just before 1 PM, we adjourned for the day, but not for the convention. Three items, F.5, F.7, and F.8, remain to be considered. We'll need an "overflow" third main business meeting on Monday. I think we have a good chance of getting through these last three items. Fingers crossed that the members won't decide to dawdle. We have a hard deadline that forces us to either deal with the motions or let them drop entirely.
I actually got a chance to look at more of the Worldcon this afternoon before changing in to my Sunday-go-to-the-Hugo-Awards-Ceremony this evening. I live-Tweeted the ceremony for TheHugoAwards.org, while Cheryl Morgan (who took a nap earlier today so she could stay up late to watch the Awards online from her home in the UK) updated the website.
I'd love to write more, but with another Business Meeting on Monday morning, I have to try and get at least some sleep.
