Just 2 things about this. Will the meeting be logged as i can't make it due to travel arrangements and i dont want to miss it! Also the channel was set as invite only, is this going to be removed for the chat (sorry if it has been already - havent made it onto irc for a day or two).
Thanks

It sounds me strange to have a public meeting in an invited-only channel ...
Thanks

1) The meeting will be logged. 2) As we haven't completely decided on the meeting format, whatever the status of the channel today has nothing to do with it on Sunday. We'll deal with that Sunday, okay? :)

I would suggest not making it invite-only (otherwise, do not call it Public Meeting....) But either * give voice only to Wikimania bid team and all city bid team (it is public, but non bidders can not speak) (you technically prevent non bidders to talk) * ask the public to limit its questions to certain moments (everyone can talk, but non bidders are kindly ask not to interrupt individual city presentation) (you do not prevent talking by technical mean, but by persuation. Those who do not respect the rules are kicked out of the room. Rules must be clear from the start of the meeting).
