Re 2013 - the only dates available were the week of the ICS and the date 2 weeks later. So the August date was the only choice, as it did allow folks time to return from the Czech Republic & to attend the Convention. Yes, it would impact attending post ICS field camps but, even if it was possible, moving it later also impacts teachers & students who attend Conventions.
Re 2014 - there are two groups offering to host. The Rolla groups bid was presented at the Fall meeting and can be voted on at the Spring BOG meeting. The Huntsville bid will be presented at the Spring meeting and cannot be voted on until the Summer meeting. Both groups are willing to host in 2015. Both groups have good facilities to offer, lots of caving and will to a great job.
Re Nevada, there is a group considering hosting a Convention in Nevada. As yet they have not put together a bid.
