Arguing to change the selection criteria after selection, without having already used the opportunity present to make statements or recommendations before selection, is poor process.
Why is it poor process? Bidding is about to commence in an accelerated fashion for Wikimania 2009. Some people are obviously concerned about the result the existing criteria (and weighting) produced, and want to work to improve the criteria. I'm not sure what your complaint with that is.
I have no problem with a discussion about changing selection criteria for WM2009.
I do object to retroactively changing them to exclude the final winner of the 2008 process...
