Sorry Mounir but 2018 was announced as South East Asia, then Europe 2019 followed by North America in 2020, like Perth your first opportunity will be 2021 when it'll be between, South America, Africa, Mid East, Oceania, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and South East Asia(again) for 2021 assuming of course that this new process stays around that long it certainly wont last the pretend 3(21 if fair) year cycle that was decided on behind closed doors some months ago. This was suppose to reflect the way in which wmf collect funds but Oceania which hasnt yet had a wikimania despite two bids from Perth(including 2017 Perth could host and wants to host 2018), and one from Brisbane is the third largest region for donations according 2014 funding reports. WMF received more from there than all other regions(except Europe/Nth America) combined
Given the amoount of work put in to making a bid I dont have an issue with looking at the process, I dont have an issue in giving consideration for Montreal based on the anniversary. What I'm against is it was decided without public consultation, those who put in bids for 2017 following the published process were encouraged to do so, and there was never indication about this until signpost announced Montreal in September https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-09-30/News_a...
As I said back then the damage has been done it'll depend on how the WMF address this in the future that will determine if its blip or a disaster, I dont think this quasi fanfare announcing the venue, congratulating people and celebrating a decision that was made moths ago some honesty would have gone a long way to mending the problems caused back then
