Moving from James' idea of a three-years rotation between regions, and taking into account Katie's idea, we may define three rotating areas: * First year: Europe + Middle East + North Africa * Second year: Americas + Oceania * Third year: rest of Asia + Sub-Saharan Africa
I'd rather group regions by the likelihood that people in those regions come together and cooperate on an event (once their region is chosen): it's no use selecting a region if 5 "big" competing bids then emerge for it.
Europe should definitely be (at least) in Council of Europe terms. Americas have Iberocoop + all the spanish-speaking USA people and might indeed be considered as a whole.
As for Africa, I'd really like to see a map of the continent where distance is measured by flight cost... we might discover that the centre of Subsaharian Africa is Dubai, Paris or Frankfurt. My search results were poor:
