It's the Chapters role to support a successful bid - but the bids
themselves should, we feel, be community-driven, not chapter-driven. The
chapter has a policy that says we cannot do anything that a volunteer
will do - we're here to support a volunteer-run bid with funding, advice
and staff.

Paid employees of WMUK haven't been involved
in either bid, that's
part of what I'm complaining about. (Richard has been working on the
London one in his spare time, but not as a WMUK employee).
Should WMUK not be
involved in developing a Wikimania bid? (I don't
follow WM governance very closely, and may misunderstand that aspect
of the Chapter's purpose.)
