Yes. I suggest to tell all the teams representatives the final decission before it will be officially announced. Maybe it is even more important for those two who won't be happy to have Wikimania in 2010, as there might be plenty of unnecesary frustration after being informed about it via press.
That would impressive work by the press to hear about the result and contact the local team/chapter before they were able to check their email. I agree, it wouldn't be a very nice way to find out if it did happen, though.

Well, I know that when the Brisbane bid last time around was struck without first being informed, I received plenty of distressed mobile calls from our bidding partners before I happened to log on and check my email. Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed at being put on the spot by the bid committee like that.
