Thank you all for your responses.
Thanks Pradeep for telling us that the bid was a placeholder bid. I
was not aware of that. Placing the placeholder was indeed a good
action, though of course, it would have been better if wider publicity
of placeholder being placed were given.
I'm personally happy to see Mumbai opting to build up local community
activities which it missed out last year due to their full and
tremendous commitment to WikiConference 2011. Mumbai Community has
been doing great events and they have a wonderful line up including
GLAM.
I'm of the opinion that the Delhi bid be discarded prima facie and as
Mumbai has clarified its stance, Arjuna Rao Chawala, as Chapter head
may like to confirm India's non-participation in contesting for
hosting Wikimania 2013.
Of course, if there are dissenting opinions please pitch in right away
as it may seem that I'm trying to rush through with this issue, which
is not the case.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur
