Application for the CIS region.

Actually, Sergey, you're not entirely right. I organized the CIS tournaments and listened to the opinions of authoritative players in the process, rather than doing 100% whatever I wanted. At CIS-14 in Minsk, VT was set to SoD by default. Although I wanted full VT. If one is that categorical, some good players might simply not come, which would lower the level of the tournament. We (as it always seemed to me) have always strived to make the CIS exactly the coolest and main tournament of the year, rather than just a gathering of people with shared interests. It's your call, but despite being all for HotA only, I am in favor of a vote (or the compromise option I proposed earlier).
