Phoebe, as a board member, can you make sure no more decision on next Wikimania host is made unless something like a propper conference content guideline is created and made mandatory for the next host? My guideline proposal: - presentations have to made accesible under free license - host will put all presentations and video footage online within X days of end of conference (under free license again) I think this would be enough and any host would be happy to comply.

Re: [Foundation-l] Tragedy: videos and slides from presentations Wikimanias (lately 2011 in Haifa)
For future Wikimanias, it may be helpful to have a small team led by a video editing lead, that is expected to start their work at Wikimania and finish two weeks after, to handle all of the video editing and uploading. Including a contract with / sponsorship by a professional videography shop that can help with the peak load. This is a small line in the budget, an additional core volunteer, and makes a big difference to people who want to catch up on the event while it is still fresh.
