To be honest, I can not recollect a single instance WMF people ever
apologized to the community for any decision, even when it was

Elly Young in any of the Wikimania threads.

I was off-list provided with such an example, and Aubrey made another
example off-list, so that I am going to retract my statement. However, I
certainly would like to see more examples of apologies when people screw
up, and also thanking volunteers in public never harms. I thank Elly for
her response, though I do not feel like she addresses the main issue:
asking Manila and Perth teams to submit a bid at the time when it was
decided that Montreal gets it. This is not my business anymore though, I
would not attend Wikimania in either city anyway.
