Can you shed some light on this seeming discrepancy? 

This was an administrative oversight on our part - basically it fell through the cracks in the transition from the IAOC to the LLC.

For example, several cities where the IETF has met recently - e.g. Prague, Berlin, Vienna, London, Paris - were not mentioned, yet Vancouver (where we have met many times, and are about to meet again) is listed in the "have been added to those assessed as suitable” list.  So the list is a little confusing.
