Thanks for the information. I've updated
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2015_bids based on this
information.
I agree with Aya that a public posting of the scoring matrix would be great
as well.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Christopher, Aya,
Speaking as a jury member, the reason we disqualified Bali and Dar es Salaam
was that those two bids were not really complete enough to score.

Congratulations to Wikimedia Mexico and Mexico City!
I add my voice to that of Cooper concerning the criteria of choosing
the winner for 2015. In addition to the cities that Cooper has
mentioned, I would like to know what happened with Bali's bid too.
Kind Regards,

Congratulations to Wikimedia Mexico and all those
that helped put
the bid together. I believe Mexico City will turn out to be a great
place to host Wikimania and I look forward to attending.
Regardless, I hope when appropriate, the reasons Mexico City were
chosen and where other bids could have done better will be posted
somewhere for digestion as done in previous years. In particular,
while the bid was clearly lacking, it would be helpful to have an
official answer to why
the
Dar es Salaam was disqualified.
Kind regards,
Christopher
