(I limit the discussion within the WLM mailing list).
I personally think that the lesson to be learned is a simple one.
Some body should take care to verify the calendar for wiki loves monuments and to take an action "just in time" to don't stop a process already started.
The real problem is that two different projects/departments planned the use of the centralnotice and started two different processes and for both would have been a big challenge to reschedule the calendar.
Every solution would have been a work-around.
In my opinion the calendar of the centralnotice should not be in charge of the local country, but it should be in charge of the international team (who is the most valid candidate for this task).
It means that the team must be a "permanent team" and cannot be created few months before the event. In addition the team should be "formally" nominated to discuss this point.
We must consider that the conflict management is an important task in any project, as valid as the risk management.
Best regards
