AFAIK, Frank has submitted the proposal for Houston on Columbus Day weekend. The decision on where the trials should be held is in the hands of the F2B Team Selection Committee (i.e., Randy Smith). Not sure when a decision will be coming from the committee, perhaps you could ask Randy.

PS: If you have FAI-related questions, I can probably give some answers.
E.g, that "spring meeting annually or something like that." is called the Plenary Meeting and will be held the end of March. Used to be an in-person meeting, but with the pandemic, it has become a Zoom meeting. The Plenary is where, among other activities, all of the rules that have been proposed are voted on by the FAI Delegates (one per member country).
Rules for a discipline (e.g., Control Line) are only voted on in the year where the discipline has its World Championship. Rule changes normally (a few exceptions) go into effect Jan 1 of the following year. That leaves a year plus for a rule to be enforced before it is used at a WCHs. SO, a rule passed this year (no CL rules! Not voted on this year!) will go into effect Jan 1, 2024
If you want to spend a lot of time and perhaps get a bit of knowledge. all of the rules that we live by in the FAI program are available on the FAI website.
