Phoebe, as a board member, can you make sure no more decision on next Wikimania host is made unless something like a propper "conference content guideline" is created and made mandatory for the next host?
My guideline proposal: - presentations have to made accesible under free license - host will put all presentations and video footage online within X days of end of conference (under free license again) I think this would be enough and any host would be happy to comply.
