I'm interested in this case specifically of course, but I also am wondering more generally what the current state of affairs is for forming any sort of operational, community-driven committee. Of course we're good at forming wikiprojects to do things that need doing, but for areas that also require overlap with things that the office works on, it seems tricky.
Well, I would start with approaching the past organizers asking how they got their teams and who actually in the end did their job properly (and who did not).
You would like to have people actually doing smth, not just talking, right?
Cheers Yaroslav
Something... even if that something is mostly just being a reporting/communication facilitator, I think. I don't imagine a committee or group that would actually organize the conference; that should be the job of the local team.
For those following along at home, this conversation seems to have migrated to wikimania-l, where it probably belongs: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimania-l/2010-June/001922.html
