”(A recent site visit) confirmed the impressions of the current lack of
preparedness at this late date and the lack of funding necessary for the
conference to take place,” ILGA’s board co-chairs said in a statement.
The primary local organizer was the Coalition gaie et lesbienne du
Québec.
ILGA did not reschedule the conference but did put out ”a formal call
for new proposals from ILGA member organizations for hosting the world
conference later this year.” It gave interested parties less than a
month to submit proposals.
The board said any local organizer must take on partial responsibility
for paying for the gathering.
”ILGA does not have the capacity to fully fund the conference,” the
co-chairs said. ”The local hosts have in the past fundraised for
resources, especially to bring scholars from the Global South.”
ILGA is a 30-year-old federation of more than 600 GLBT organizations and
associated members, such as city governments, from 90 countries.
