Announcement Blurb: The dates for the summer study are July 11 - 20, 2021 and we are now soliciting site proposals. Send site proposals to cushman@umn.edu by November 15, 2019 and they will be evaluated by the entire DPF executive committee. Plan for ~ 1000 attendees. Include the following: Names of your local organizing committee, cost and availability of lodging (mix of low- and high-end hotels, dorms or retreat center), public transportation, rough estimate of registration cost prior to any supplement provided by DOE or a private foundation, although your plans for defraying the cost can be included. Include parallel session rooms, auditorium (seats ~ 1000), coffee breaks, AV, and administrative help. Provide a rough estimate of banquet or reception costs separately. Feel free to include any special advantages of your venue. For your reference, the 2013 website is still (mostly) available at http://www.hep.umn.edu/css2013/

Process: DPF exec reviews and chooses. Each page has the proposal and a list of pros and cons. Let's start by just filling in pro and con for each site as a way to begin the discussion. Also need to choose a budget czar - neutral third part to compare budgets and record what they find. It is clear that there are differing assumptions.
