Can we all agree in principal that we need to see a list of volunteers before we take any location under consideration? Do we have anyone in Toronto with Wikimania organizing experience that is willing to step up and lead a bid for Toronto?

I agree, it would be good to find an advisor from Frankfurt/Cambridge/Taipei/Alexandria/Buenos Aires, someone that can help provide perspective into the process.
Perhaps just as pertinent, how many of us have actually gone to a Wikimania, to know what it's truly like?
I am one of about 20 people have attended all five, but as a Vancouverite I prefer to remain neutral and as objective as possible between Montreal and Toronto. I am prepared to be equally critical of either bid.
Should either be successful as the host city I will be pleased to support that winner.
