i think the process is if someone is interesting in hosting the world shoot, they submit bids to the ibo, then the process starts to see if the soliciter is capable of hosting the world shoot. the potential host should contact the ibo with their intent, and be ready to do a lot of work to pull it off. in the past the bar has been set very high by the ibo and the past host, most recently snowshoe mountain. anything less would be a step backward.
