Hi all,
I just wanted to clarify a few important points:
ICLC 2020 will take place in Limerick, Ireland, and I very much hope
to be there and to meet as many of you good people there as possible!
I'm sure Giuseppe and the team have all of our deep thanks for taking
on this mammoth task.

ICLC only takes place if a local committee takes on the job of
organising it. The steering committee only really exists to make a
call for proposals and decide where it should go next.
Any proposal for future ICLCs would be considered by the steering
committee, and wouldn't be acted upon until 2021 at the earliest. The
call is open until 10th June.

I travel every 6 weeks for work and it's pretty appalling how expensive it is to take a 2 hour flight. Not counting in the flight costs, the cost of a room somewhere can be rather expensive as well. Then you have to add in food. So, the costs do add up.
