In the consistory of 2010, half of the posts for cardinals went to directors of the curia and of other Roman ecclesiastical offices that are intended to be occupied by a cardinal. For 2012, the appointments expected concern the Italians Fernando Filoni (prefect of Propaganda Fide), Domenico Calcagno (president of APSA), Giuseppe Versaldi (president of the prefecture of economic affairs of the Holy See) and Giuseppe Bertello (president of the governorate of Vatican City-State), the Brazilian Joao Braz de Aviz (prefect of the congregation for religious), the American Edwin F. O’Brien (pro-grand master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher) and the Spanish Santos Abril y Castello (archpriest of the papal basilica of Saint Mary Major). To these could be added Francesco Coccopalmerio (president of the pontifical council for legislative texts), and/or Rino Fisichella (president of the newly created council for promoting new evangelization).
As for the dioceses traditionally led by a cardinal, it seems that the practice will be respected that calls for not creating a new one where an emeritus is present who has not yet turned eighty. An exception, if there is one, could be made for Timothy Dolan in New York, and for the Dominican Dominik Duka in Prague, the cardinals emeritus of which will turn eighty, respectively, on April 2 and May 17.
The list should include the new archbishops of Berlin (Rainer Maria Woelki), Toronto (Thomas C. Collins), and Utrecht (Willem J. Eijk), the bishop of Hong Kong (John Tong), as well as the new Maronite patriarch Bechara Rai in Lebanon and the new major archbishop of the Syro-Malabars in India, George Alencherry.
A more complex question is that of the episcopal sees in which the cardinal emeritus has not gone into retirement, but has been called to another post in the Roman curia. This is the case of Florence, Toledo, and Quebec, whose “archbishops emeritus” (called this in the Annuario Pontificio) are now, respectively, president of the pontifical council for the family (Ennio Antonelli), prefect of the congregation of divine worship (Antonio Cañizares) and prefect of the dicastery for bishops (Marc Ouellet). In 2010, the practice of excluding the presence of two voting cardinals in a single see was applied rigorously in such cases as well. For 2012, no definitive decision has been made yet, although the idea of confirming this rigid application seems to be prevailing.
Another round will have to be awaited by the archbishops of Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Westminster, Mechelen-Brussels, Turin, Seville, Rio de Janeiro, Sâo Salvador da Bahia, Santiago, Chile, Bogotà, Quito, Giakarta, Manila.

I am sure that this will not be the only speculation as time goes on.
