CoNZealand is scheduling a one-hour moderated session on June 28, 06:00 NZT where members can hear each 2022 Worldcon bid make a presentation and respond to questions asked by one of the moderators. The link has not yet been distributed.
CoNZealand attending members can submit questions to be asked of the bids via this form. Submissions will be anonymous. The committee adds:
All submitted questions will be edited to remove any personal attacks. We will encourage questions to be hard, but we will not permit them to be insulting.
We will follow the general format that has been used recently….
15 minutes will be allotted for each presentation and there will be a 30 minute questioning period of both bids to follow.
Responses the two bids have already made to Frequently Asked Questions can be read online:

I am not impressed. I could not find where you can buy the site selection token. In the past, Worldcons outside of North America have had US addresses to mail in site selection fees and ballots. I have used tokens before so that is not a real issue but the delay in allowing me to pay and vote is irritating and shows some incompetence. The clock is ticking, soon time will run out.
There seem to be some technical problems getting the Zoom link distributed. It is not visible on the Grenadine schedule page, as of starting to write this, but comments on there indicate that it is somewhere.
Or, it’s some other tech issue going haywire.
