This pages explains and describes the timeline for determining who will put on future alt.gothic Convergences℠ and where they will be.
What Is alt.gothic Convergence℠?
Convergence℠ is explained on it's own page, but we feel it's worth reiterating the core purpose here. alt.gothic Convergence℠ is the annual party put on by the denizens of alt.gothic for the denizens of alt.gothic and ALL their friends that squishes together hundreds of net.goths from around the globe and their friends into a single city for a weekend of socializing, booze, musical events and sweet debauchery.
Bid Selection Process
There are 4 steps to getting a bid chosen to be a Convergence:
- Bids are entered.
- The C*B*L vet the bids to ensure they are within the bounds of reason<ref>We may well look askance at a bid that looked like Glastonbury for example</ref> and fulfill the requirements.
- alt.gothic ratifies the bids.
- The voters vote for the bid they want to go to.
The events occur on the dates laid out in the timeline
