Hi Fae,
Maybe hiding vital information from the community is consistent with the
best practices in the industry[1
<https://www.quora.com/Why-was-the-user-Russavia-globally-locked-by-the-Wikimedia-Foundation>]
and what they call "Transparency" is just another way say that is not
profitable for the WMF to hold Wikimania in remote, non-commercial centers.
Or maybe they are just too used to stay in 5 star hotels while the
community stays in dorms and just don't care anymore.

The communications failure and lack of any public
consultation before
throwing away the community driven bidding process, was a very good
moment to appoint a new Chair of the Wikimania Committee. The
suggestion at the time was ignored.[1] How can the community force
real changes, if the Committee is in apparent PR lock-down? From my
understanding of the history of this committee, it is long overdue to
appoint a Chair who is not reliant on keeping the WMF executive happy
for their salary.
Hi Fae,
I did wonder how long how much time would elapse from Arnnon Geshuri's
departure before you demanded someone else resigned from something.
Perhaps for "transparency" you could publish a list of all the occasions
you have demanded people in the Wikimedia movement resign from things? By
my count we are already on 4 in 2016 alone, which is quite good going for
period of 6 weeks :)
Chris
