(for the record, because there seems to be some confusion: I think it would be good to have clearity on the timeline, but I don't agree that there is an urgency to announce the jury soon - if the quality of the jury is improved by waiting a bit because we're short of candidates or any other random reason, I'm all for taking a little extra time.)

Nah, lets not wind ourselves up unnecessarily. There is still plenty of time - as long as the winners are known around june/july. A full year should be enough to organize a Wikimania.

Sure. I'm totally not going to try to rail-road this discussion (or maybe it should be on-wiki?) by announcing a Jury when we're not sure how we'll proceed. :-)
I'm hoping to hear from some other folks here: should we encourage
James F.
to resume his planned course, and select/announce a jury ASAP, without prejudice toward the question of whether a rotation system is
implemented
after 2013?
I was a bit distracted for the last two weeks and my last status was James' call for bids and jury members.
From my POV we should proceed with this quickly - I remember the discussion derailed a bit stating that the timeline is already quite tense. While that's true it didn't help us getting to work ;-)
I know that James sent a few mails to potential jury members. My suggestion is that he puts the names of those who agreed here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013_jury
Then we may have a short discussion / selection, define the actual jury by the end of next week and then get things finally rolling.
My five Euro ¢.
