According to Quim today we know for sure that Nokia will not be cutting off funding before the end of 2012. It might even continue beyond that, it just hasn't been decided yet.

And the "just shut it down" proponents will only get stronger over the next six months.
Keep in mind Council will also be voted on at the same time and probed for their position on the issue.
If we get to vote this time - I would like to see a referendum on closing the 5-candidate loophole however.

There will be one month of debate on the merits of the referendum (August 22 - September 22). Currently, I am putting the referendum out there so it can be crowdsourced before August 22 and people won't vote against it merely because of the wording or something like that.
Well, "the referendum will not be changed after Monday, 22nd August 2011" feels a bit like an ambush to me, particularly since I'm travelling in a few hours and I won't be able to participate in any discussion before it's too late.
