"Now for the question of headquarters: Should we take a city that speaks the international lingua franca English, is large, has an airport, is easy to reach for the majority of people around the globe and has the necessary infrastructure to hold large meetings? Nah, lets take a teeny weeny municipality in the Alps that speaks an accent of German that most German speakers don't even understand, doesn't have an airport and is pretty much the most peripheral place you can find in all of western and central Europe."

Cologny speaks mostly french, not german, and is very close to Geneva, which has a host of other international organizations and a fairly big airport.

Well hard to tell... It is somehow a mix of both cities because Davos is in the mountains and they speak german, but it is kind of well known but there is absolutely no large city nearby. Cologny is indeed a suburb of Geneva but speaking french and not in mountains. I am confused with this complain :D

I missed the Gulf Cooperation Council because I misread it as "Golf" -- duh! Maybe because it was right below FIFA?

Excellent idea for a quiz. Could have used another minute.

Cologny is not a city but a municipality in Switzerland
