If it is a problem to get university support then I certainly don't mind 
the so-called academic segment to be handled outside of a university. It 
was already somewhat like that, as the reviewers included people outside 
of universities, and McGill mostly just provided the room and projector. 
It could have happened in another room in the city. However I would not 
spit on most any university support. São Paulo guys should at least try to 
get some university support and then if there is not much or if it is 
otherwise not appropriate then they can fall back on their grassroots.
