I for one would not be happy with making my marking grid public because the
bidders didn't know that the marking grids were going to be made public -
and for that matter, neither did I! I am also a little worried about being
"second-guessed" by the community at large. Imagine, *for example,* if the
jury was split down the middle, with half hating the Mexico bid and half
loving it: it could be very damaging for the volunteer team morale to show
that not everyone supported them, and it might damage the conference.
Perhaps in future it would be a good thing to do...
However, I see where you're coming from - it would be good to have feedback
on the individual bids for posterity's sake, and to make sure that mistakes
or omissions aren't repeated in future...

Maybe start by releasing the blank grid? Meta has judging criteria, but I
don't see a grid. Does the jury bottom line the grid scores and then
average them up? Maybe that "final score" by the jury as a whole could be
released to the parties who submitted bids?
