Do you really believe the community consists of several 100.000 people? Am 06.10.2015 21:01 schrieb "Joseph Fox" josephfoxwiki@gmail.com:

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.
While I agree it's important to sort things with the community (since that is the lifeblood of the projects), are you seriously suggesting that it's easier to gauge the consensus of hundreds of thousands of people rather than make a decision in a smaller committee, secret or otherwise?

I am disappointed

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.
