No, I expect an adequate security assessment that goes beyond asking people with a vested interest in seeing the event happen smoothly. The local team has a humongous conflict of interest here. Their "say so" on whether something is safe is inherently unacceptable.
Okay, identify whom would ask or hire, whose security assessment you would accept (even if you don't agree with the results), and who will charge you (or the Foundation) a price you would accept, and that the Foundation could afford. Please list prices and available service options.
If you are expert enough to find fault with an FAQ that I published without negative feedback on this list several weeks ago, surely you can answer this one small request.

I would ask from a range of contractors, from companies like Centurion Risk Assessment Services, 3D Global Solutions, or MVM Inc. Listing prices and service options is up to the foundation, not me. As for who's opinion I would accept, I would accept anyone's opinion BUT the local team. As others have stated, they have a vested interest in Wikimania, and therefore are more inclined to say "yes yes, no problem" when in fact, there is a problem.
