For my edification, does "extra documents" refer to this?:
For the decision meeting, bid teams prepare:
A description of how their bid meets each of the points on the priority
list.
A description of the weak points in their own bids.
A description of the strong points in other bids.
If so, is it expected that we prepare something /different/ than what's
already shown on <https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Portland>? (Which
was written to address all of those priorities, but not point-by-point in
order)
If not, what /does/ it refer to?
