Jeanette Hofmann <jeanette at wzb.eu> quotes Marcus Kummer:

>organizers we may have next year by the time we meet in February.

There's an aspect of this which puzzles me slightly: Several workshops 
were merged, which has left the definition of "organizer" unclear.

Let's say that Tom, Dick and Harry all proposed workshops on similar 
topics, and merged. From then on, Tom did all the administrative work, 
Dick helped him, but Harry dropped out after he'd passed the contact 
details for his proposed speakers to Tom.

Harry had also originally said in his proposal that he was co-organising 
his workshop with Alice, but in fact had never contacted Alice to 
confirm this, and she knows nothing about it.

Tom failed to file a workshop report on time, does that also disqualify 
Dick or Harry (and Alice?) from proposing a workshop in their original 
individual capacities for Vilnius?
