My own view on Wikimania 2014 is that it should be set up as a separate company, with WMUK as a corporate member on the board. Thought needs to go into what is the best form for it: e.g. Community Interest Company might be the most appropriate. This relates to how it is going to be funded.
Having a separate company means that if anything goes wrong, it doesn't take WMUK down with it, nor does it uncontrollably swallow up all WMUK's attention.
Yes, and that has to be happening now.... or yesterday.
CIC might be easy. Quicker than forming a charity, eh?
