The bid page on meta was moved from the unofficial to

format the others use (Wikimania 2008/Bids/XX) but this was reverted by
Aphaia ("revert; unless you are the bidding team, you are better to leave
it: only official bids should be there") - what is "the bidding team"? Do
people have to commit to something, is it Wikimedia UK? Needs sorting
urgently else we can't enter - deadline *tomorrow* people, as in, under 24
hours...
I was also confused by this - I think, however, it's simply that the
person who moved the page (Majorly) is not listed under the bidding or
local team. I'd say if you list yourself as one of the team, there
would be no problem with making the bid "official".
I received a reply from a professor at UCL who Sam
organised it with last
year and they are "keen". I'll continue contact with him.
I'm not sure if Sam is subscribed to this list - which was why I
copied him in yesterday. I suggest you keep him in the loop.
