Dear Jury - we have a few interested members so far: Deror, Muhammad, and James. There is also a full panel talking about the future of Wikimania in Hong-Kong: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Growth_and_Future_o… Ellie has offered to organize an after-hours event for past organizers to expand on the topics of this workshop, if there is interest. And I am sure that Ellie will have her own thoughts to share by then, having spent tha past couple of months seeing Wikimania preparations with her new perspective. Perhaps we can move this discussion to a thread on the wikimania-l list about future bids & the future of Wikimania, and similar regional events. Sam.
