To be honest: I am not surprised at all.
Wikimedia Foundation is becoming moor and moor centralized. They no longer care about the
community, even if there is huge community consensus about something.
Why is there a secret committee needed? It is easier to ask the community.
I am disappointed

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2017 Montreal - scooped by Signpost
Evidently the Signpost has scooped the WMF by revealing that Montreal has
been selected for the 2017 Wikimania host city in a secret process that
completed this past August. [1]
It seems like the community could have been looped into this new method
before it was a done deal.
