Well, it has taken place in Great Britain 3 times the last 20 years. And 2 times in Australia if I do not mis-remember and once in Japan.

I have no doubt that the Hugos could be "fixed" over time. But I also have very little doubt that they probably never will be. The core group is a little too arrogant in their belief that things will self-adjust in time. "We've weathered storms in the past;" "The rules are in place to.." blah, blah, blah. They were forewarned what was going to happen this year and still they instituted no plan to get the first year of the two-year process started.

What do you mean start the process? The coming Worldon in August is the first business meeting after the effect of the firt Sad Puppy slate was known. And what core group are you talking about? Everybody that go to the business meeting can vote.
