I do not think we want to select POT-DEC (lets not call it POTD
which
is
something else :) ) from older POTYs since we don't have a large
number
to
choose from. Also, it would be very boring to re-nominate the same
winner
again. If anything existing POTY winners perhaps should be
disqualified
for
this reason.
I am not too sure about the procedure would be best to be honest. I
hope
this discussion would determine that very aspect. :)
US GLAM is appealing but we do want something global. Certainly US
GLAM
partnerships should be part of it but they should not be all of it.
WikiLoves Monuments was a good precursor to this kind of activity.
Perhaps
a kind of lessons learned assessment may be useful while working
on
this.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimania-l] Selection of winning bid for Wikimania 2013: Hong Kong
Awesome!!! Congratulations! Hope to be there. On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 8:52 PM, James Forrester jdforres...@gmail.comwrote: On behalf of the Wikimania 2013[0] selection Jury[1], I can announce that we have awarded the conference to Hong Kong. Congratulations to the bidding team, and to the London team who also did a particularly excellent job. There were five official bids: Bristol, Naples and Surakarta, as well as the two finalists of Hong Kong and London[2]. The Jury and the bidding teams discussed them in three public IRC meetings in April. We determined that Hong Kong and London were the strongest contenders, and decided to focus on these two as the finalists. After further e-mail enquiries, and considering evaluation by Wikimedia Foundation staff, a final, private meeting was held to reach a final decision. The Jury was pleased by the high quality in both the final bids, and required over three hours' discussion to reach the final verdict. We considered each bid according to the criteria[3], focussing on following factors: Venue, Program, Geo-location Logistics, Local Opportunities, Accommodations, Team Chapter, and Budget Finances. We found consensus that the Hong Kong bid was the stronger, especially because of their strong advance planning; solid support by the local Wikimedia Chapter, the community, local government, and a partner organisation that is experienced in planning conferences; and their good combination of venue and accommodation. The Jury has confidence that the Hong Kong bidding team will pull off a magnificent Wikimania, and we are pleased for our global community to return to Asia once again. With a motivated group of volunteers who have experience in organizing smaller Wikimedia activities, and a partner with experience in organizing larger-scale events, they have found a good mix to create a successful conference. The Jury did also identify some weaker points in each the bids, and will be happy to share those privately with the teams so that the Hong Kong team can use that to their advantage in organizing Wikimania 2013, and the other teams can use the feedback to improve their bids for a future year. We thank all candidate teams - the process is gruelling and requires a very substantial time investment. They are all to be commended for their submissions. To use this soap-box for a moment, as Moderator I would like to remind the community that we hope that this time was the last that we use this ad-hoc process to decide on the Wikimania venue, and encourage everyone to engage with the discussion on Meta[4] about how we might select Wikimania 2014 and beyond in a more open, community-led way. Please, do join in the discussions.
