It was always going to be difficult for a UK bid to beat the Far East for 2013, however in 2014 Wikimania logically should come back to Europe and a UK bid will have a much better chance.

I put a slot into the AGM agenda for it http://uk.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WikiConference_UK_2012&diff=19558&oldid=19557 as it was bound to be something we'd want to discuss. But it seems that bit has been dropped from the agenda.

It would be great to re-use as much as possible for the 2014 bid.
Hopefully we will see an improved selection process too.

I would be happy to be part of a positive review at the next London
Wikimeet if folks feel up to it. It would be neat if the new UK board
were to be prepared to make a much earlier and credible commitment to
2014 so that the selection panel could see that partnerships, delivery
team, risk management and funding were all beautifully planned, in
place and geared to go and had undergone local independent assessment.

Cheers,
Fae
