The motto is keep the costs down. We are looking for the cheapest places to do the events, the cultural programs, the forums, the get togethers. When we say we want to offer a quality experience, it is going to happen when people interact. Besides, we offer the city. What better stuff can you offer?
This is really early stage. We are open to suggestions and ideas from anyone and everyone.
At the Alliance picnic (Alliance, GFIPN: Audio, Video, Alliance Picnic 2, Alliance Picnic) I got to talk to Navin Thapa. This was my second time meeting him. He was surprised I remembered him. The first time I met him was when my sister Babita was newly married, new in town, and Satramji from Lahan had thrown a party for her and her husband. Navinji suggested the Ganesh Temple has a hall, capacity 1,000, and that that might be a good, cheap venue option. I like the suggestion. (Ganesh Temple in New York - Hindu Temples in New York)
I just did a quick Google search on a few different topics. And Flushing keeps coming back again and again. This is just one person's thought right now, but right now the center of gravity for the convention is in Flushing. That is what round one of Google search tells me.
Website
This is really early stage. Ujjwal Bhattarai will be doing the legwork. We have not made any major decisions yet. But the website is where most people will get their information about the convention. The website is where most people will purchase their tickets.
This is what I have in mind. The diagram above is a possible template. Each page at the site will have that standard template.
The key idea I think is to people the site. Everybody on the management team will have a page. All participating organizations may get a page each.
A list of all those who purchase tickets can bet posted. All such individuals will have the option to get their names hyperlinked to their personal website.
And we will make it possible for everyone to participate in the decision making process. The convention starts now.
Core 200
Besides Chandra Prakash and me, there will be 10 other people on the management team. I expect each such person to have to put in a maximum of 50 hours from now until April 5. Each will get paid somewhere between $1000 and $2000. That is the current estimate.
And there will be a hundred or so volunteers. We will likely have blog offices along the lines of the Think Tank. That should greatly enhance the efficiency. Perhaps a total of 10 blog offices.
There will be a Chief Guest, a Chief Host, Kul Chandra Gautam, a half dozen Special Guests, Manisha Koirala, Upendra Mahato, Udit Narayan Jha, about 10 VVIPs, people like Tara Niraula, Mridula Koirala, Karma Gyaljen Sherpa, 90 VIPs, Binod Shah, Sanjaya Parajuli, Anand Bist, Luna Ranjit.
10 Departments
What will they be? One would be for the website. Another for Media Relations. One might have to focus on the convention's relationship with the participating organizations. Another with venue details. One might work on the schedule. One for the guests, the Chief Guest, the Chief Host, the Special Guests, the 10 VVIPs, the 90 VIPs. That is six.
Maybe we just need six.
One to deal with the vendors. Another for the Cultural Program. One for the Concert.
That is nine.
All these are tentative, designed to spark discussions.

I believe there should be an annual Nepali convention in each of these five major cities at different times of the year except in winter. And entire conventions should be video blogged so Nepalis all over the world can participate.
