Commons will be celebrating its 10th anniversary on 7 September 2014 and I feel this warrants a special occasion. We have about 1.5 years to prepare if we are going to plan on something.
We already have POTY as an annual event so perhaps a "decade" event could be something interesting to consider.

Sure.. We have moving POTY gallery in Poland:
http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wystawa_fotografii_POTY
16 POTY pictures printed in A1 scale travels around Poland. Maybe we could make on September a series of such gallery openings all over the world? The cost of making such a gallery is not so big - just print POTY pictures and then try to find a place to show it at any university entrance, library entrance or art gallery in your city... In Poland the cost for us was around 250 USD for printing A1 size pictures + around 500 USD for printing leafleats and cost of transfering the gallery from one city to another. Except promotion of Wikimedia Commons - such a gallery is a good occasion to organise a small meeting of local Wiki(m)(p)ednians interested in photography...
It could very well be escalated to something like the monument campaign from last year.

The obvious: select POTD from all the POTYs :)
I do not think we want to select POT-DEC (lets not call it POTD which is something else :) ) from older POTYs since we don't have a large number to choose from. Also, it would be very boring to re-nominate the same winner again. If anything existing POTY winners perhaps should be disqualified for this reason.
I am not too sure about the procedure would be best to be honest. I hope this discussion would determine that very aspect. :)
US GLAM is appealing but we do want something global. Certainly US GLAM partnerships should be part of it but they should not be all of it. WikiLoves Monuments was a good precursor to this kind of activity. Perhaps a kind of "lessons learned" assessment may be useful while working on this.

Now that Wikimedia-l is in the loop, can we shift the focus of discussion back to commons lists and not cc wm-l?
