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.

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.

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.
