Based on these desired outcomes, you can estimate up front if the meeting
is likely to be 'worth it'. If not, you can reduce the costs, increase the
outcomes (different setup) or cancel all together.

The second relevant question is, in my opinion, whether the WMF travel policy
is good, proportional etc. This policy has mostly received criticism from
two sides - some think it is too elaborate, and WMF should get 'less
luxury' (again fair discussion, but we should then focus on the whole
question) - another criticism is that it should be equalized for all
Wikimedia-sponsored trips, including individual engagement grants, trips to the
chapters meeting etc. When this question was brought up last time, I
believe it was Sue who mentioned that this would simply result in much less
travel and participation. Again, a fair question.
"this would simply result in much less travel" !!! Well, less travel,
not only cost control, could be a justifiable objective itself.
I mean that to convert the donations to Wikimedia into burning vast
amounts of under-taxed kerosene is definitely not an environmentally
friendly and responsible way to run the Wikimedia movement.
I personally went to the chapter meeting in Milan rather than insist on
attending the next Wikimania in good part because I could get there by
train.
