It is funny that my submission was rejected on the opposite POV as
according to the reviewer:
"This is a community conference. There are plenty of opportunities for
chapters, WMF, and politicians to get together. Esino Lario is not one of
them."
I don't know why politicians were mentioned by review as the submission was
about education programs of chapters and WMF, but anyway - yes it was
addressed to Wikimedia educators - which of course can meet somewhere else,
not necessarily in Esino Laro.
So - if you address your submission to the Wikimedia community - the issue
is that you can contact community on this list for example, so it is good
reason to reject, but if you address this to the more specific group they
tell you that WIkimania is a meeting for "community" :-)
Taking such statements seriously - you can always say that you can meet
anyone somewhere else to discuss the subject with them.
Also - this kind of the reviewer statements do not correspond to what was
written on criteria page:
"Please note that your presentation does not need to be for everyone; you
can specify the target you would like to address."

1-4 are IMHO relatively easy to evaluate - I
would expect from the
reviews to answer yes or no to them. 5 is a bit tricky as it depends
strongly of what the reviewer think is "at the centre" - but I would
expect that they at least explain in few words here what they think is
"at the centre" or not :-)
Yet, reviews like the one Andy mentioned clearly address this: his review
was a clear "no" for point 5 as it pointed to (the absence of) a mailing
list discussion. (I can't check whether that's true.)
