In response to who made the suggestions for a location for the CGPH 
Intersession, a review of the session Chat transcript
  makes it clear that the names were tossed out at the last minute, and 
some serious and some almost in jest.

One gets a sense from the overall records of the meeting, that Reykjavik 
remains a front runner.
The decision is supposed to be out on Friday, Dec 2nd.
