I would be careful but using the Wikimania to forward some phases of the
discussion in person because many people dont get the opportunity to attend
in person and the last thing this process needs now is another barrier to
community participation

Hi all,
I want to kindly ask a follow up on the issue Isabella Apriana has
mentioned - "...it's not official yet for Montreal, but seems like
there's nothing we can do about 2017 now because community discussion is
expected to focus on 2018-2021."
Is that true? Should all the bid team except Montreal stop to spend their
energy for the 2017 bid anymore, or should they keep contact the local
venue and service providers to have a better research on their bid?
I personally really want to have another Wikimania in Asia (if so, I
won't
have big jet lag issue, haha), I see WMID is
putting some lot of efforts
of
their organization on the bid process (I was
having a meeting with them
for
2 hours to know better about the venue situation
in Bali), so I ask this
question. Just want to make sure how the follow up should go for the
bidders before the community consultation in November to prevent burned
out
and reduce feeling of frustration.
Hi Liang. Confirming here that we've asked anyone who is considering
hosting Wikimania (for 2017 or any other year) to be in touch with Ellie
Young directly before putting any more energy into a bid. Hope this is
clear now - thanks!
Best,
Liang, Wikimedia Taiwan
